Yala Peak Climbing is the best adventure trip in Nepal which comprises the best views of the Langtang Valley. Yala Peak is a small mountain in the Langtang area of Nepal.  It is considered a trekking peak by the Nepal Mountaineering Association (NMA) and is a somewhat simple, non technical climb. The summit is very well-liked for being a superb vantage point from which Shishapangma (8013m), the highest mountain wholly in Tibet, and the lowest of the 14 eight-thousanders, can be seen. Yala Peak Climbing trip is combined with Langtang Valley Trekking in Nepal is the best choice for those who wish to stand on a Himalayan summit but have a limited amount of time and budget available. This trip rewards the visitors with a thrilling venture of trekking and climbing in the Langtang region way beyond simply hiking. 

The Yala peak climbing is non-technical. Prior climbing experience is not required however outfit experience and a reasonably good level of physical fitness and stamina is necessary. You begin your voyage to Yala peak climbing with a half day drive to Syburbesi from Kathmandu. Hiking through the lush green forest and beautiful hamlets of Domen, Bamboo, Lama Hotel, Langtang village and Kenjin Gompa, we arrive at the wonderful base camp of Yala peak. We will also witness the damage done by the April 2015 earthquake in Nepal mainly in the Langtang village which totally swept away the whole beautiful village.
