Yala Peak is a perfect introduction to mountaineering in Nepal and also gives you a chance to explore the Langtang valley. Located in the Langtang region near the Tibetan border, Yala Peak is one of the lower trekking peaks of Nepal. Thus compared to other trekking peaks, the climb to Yala Peak is considered to be an easy and a non-technical climb.
Trek to Yala peak begins with 8 to 9 hours drive to Dhunche or Syabrubesi from Kathmandu. The trail passes through Langtang Valley, a beautiful valley located just thirty kilometers north of Kathmandu. The valley is surrounded by Langtang Lirung which is the highest peak in this region.
On your way, you will pass through sub-tropical jungle, dense forest of oak, birch and pine, alpine meadows and yak pastures. The Langtang forest looks extra exquisite in the spring when the tree orchids and vibrant rhododendrons are in full bloom. This forest is also home to endangered animals such as red Pandas, Himalayan Black Bear, Wild boar and Langur monkeys.
