Overview
Yala peak is the easiest peak in Nepal. Located in Langtang national park – yala peak is a famous trekking peak with best view of Langtang Himalaya range from Nepal and infinite range of Tibetan Himalaya.
Are you looking to climb peaks in Nepal for the first time? Yala peak can be an ideal choice.
Solo
Langtang trekking has lots of option for trekking, as well for peak climbing. That is why solo yala peak climbing might have lots of flexibility. In contrast to group join yala peak climbing, solo yala peak climb has options to reschedule your yala peak summit assault or wait and watch the best weather.
But if you are in a group join trip to yala peak, you might need to follow the scheduled itinerary which compels you to climb the peak in a bad weather. However, our experienced team will do their best to avoid this kind of situation.
Also from the personal safety prospective, solo yala peak climbing trip will assure your high care from a private climbing guide or trekking guide, for the entire Yala peak climbing.
Signing up solo trip to Yala peak climbing is for sure an expensive choice, as the cost of climbing guide, group climbing gears, transportation cost and accommodation cost will not be shared. But, looking at the pro side of flexible itinerary and customize-able trekking route, it will surely appeal anyone for solo Yala peak climb.
Best time for Yala peak Climb
October is the best time for Yala peak climbing. As the famous climbing season in Nepal, is during the month of March to May (in the spring season), climbing yala peak in these months is also considered as the best time.
As a trekking peak below 6000 meters, yala peak is not a challenge at all but the scenery and the summit view of the peak is outstanding. Spring and the autumn season of climbing are considered as the best season for climbing Yala peak; because – these month has mild temperature and the visibility is also good.
The blue sky and clear weather will help yala peak climbers to get the best view from the top of Yala peak. As a trekking peak with best view – I recommend you to climb this peak in the time when the weather is perfect and there will be not even a dot of cloud.
However, this peak is easily climbed in the winter and monsoon season as well. In other month than recommended above – climbing to yala might not be with good weather and the view might not be awesome. As the mountain weather is never predictable; so recommended months for yala peak climbing might not favor your summit day with the best weather – but still it is better to reduce the risk by choosing the best season.
If the sky is full of cloud, on arrival at the summit of yala peak, will you be glad? No. so as far as practicable, climb in the autumn and spring season or allocate spare days, when you can see the weather forecast from kyanjing village and that is how you can attempt yala peak summit in the most favorable day.
Yala peak Climb vs. Mera Peak (comparison in between famous trekking peaks of Nepal)
Among few trekking peaks in Nepal, Yala and Mera are considered as the best trekking peak climbing in Nepal. In contrast to their similarity in the technical level and difficulty on climb – yala peak and Mera peak has huge difference in altitude and location.
The summit of Mera stands at 6474 meters above the sea level, whereas Yala peak stands at 5500 meters above the sea level. Almost like 1000 meter altitude difference in between these two famous peaks of Nepal attracts different kinds of climber, with similar intention.
Unlike to trekking, you need to walk on the ice with long boots and harness on – this might make your climbing different than trekking but it Yala peak is purely a trekking peak.
Imagine like trekking over thorongla pass with full of snow. You can also compare this peak as trekking over the larkey pass of manaslu, chola pass before getting to Gokyo from EBC trek, renjo las pass after gokyo valley, Kongmala pass or Everest 3 high pass on heavy snow.
Unlike to Mera peak – yala peak is not a long distance walking, as well. And also the summit height of Yala peak below 6000 meters & will ease your climbing with altitude related difficulties, while climbing Yala peak.
Altitude
Yala peak summit stands at an altitude of 5500 meters above the sea level, 18040 in feet. Yala peak is famous as a trekking peak, that is why the altitude of Yala peak is not a challenge but it is the beautiful ascend. In comparison to what we can see from the top of Yala peak, this altitude of yala peak summit is a minor consideration.
Trekking towards the base camp of Yala peak is a gentle walk and does not involve any of the tough trekking activity. The base camp of Yala peak is on the dead end of a narrow valley towards the mountain, from the last village of Kyanjing Gompa. So, the altitude of the Yala peak base camp is 4100 meters above the sea level.
Kyanjing village at 3900 meters, as the last village towards the climbing route of yala peak climbing gives best acclimatization stop, before the climb. Not more than 500 meters altitude changes per day, before the peak climbing.
Also the last village Kyanjing Gompa has 2 different options for acclimatization hike. Either Kyanjing ri at 4700 meters above the sea level or 5000 meter high altitude hike to Tsergu ri will certainly help trekkers to acclimatize, before attempting Yala peak summit.
Climb in December
As an easy peak of Langtang region, Yala peak is highly recommended in the winter as well. But in case of heavy snowfall, which densely covers the Kyajning village itself, might terminate the schedule for Yala peak climbing. Because, the heavy snow fall will make trekking towards the base camp of Yala peak, nearly impossible with the thick chunk of ice in the narrow valley from kyanjing village towards the peak.
In December the amount of snowfall is higher than normal and the trail of Langtang valley trek looks nicer than other season. Thus, 360 degree White Mountain view of Langtang valley turns into outstanding view for your lifetime experience.
Also, the yala peak climb will be an adventure. Peak climbing in Langtang region has versatility in the peak selection, but by selecting Yala peak over Nayakang or Yubra or Ganja la peak; will surely provide an amazing opportunity for December peak climbing in Nepal.
Price of Yala peak Climbing
Yala peak climbing cost starts from 1500 USD. However, the price varies according to the inclusion and exclusion details in the price quoted by the company. But one thing is for sure that, the yala peak climbing price of local trekking company in Nepal is way cheaper than the international companies.
The cost of food, accommodation, climbing equipment, tent, camping, kitchen staff and equipment, trekking expenses, travel expenses and permit – are major details of cost includes in the quoted price of Yala peak climbing cost, in general.
Travel in luxury vehicle, luxury accommodation during the trek or in the climb and any standard modification in the pre-made yala peak climbing package will fluctuate the price of Yala peak climbing. It is better to avoid the cheap price but if you want to make your travel expenses lower as possible, joining a group for yala peak climb will surely decrease the price for yala peak climbing.
Yala peak itinerary
Yala peak climbing is also known by yala peak trek, as this is a famous trekking peak in Langtang. The peak comes after the last village of Langtang valley trek – “kyanjing Village at 3900 meter above the sea level”.
With that being said, yala peak climbing itinerary for the entire trekking trail is same of Langtang valley trek. After traveling to Syapru bensi, we follow the trekking trail toward – lama hotel, Langtang village, Mundhum and Kyanjing village at the end.
After rest and acclimatization hike at kyanjing village, we stay overnight at the base camp of Yala peak base camp, in the tent. Camping at the base of Yala peak in the narrow valley in between kyanjing ri and Tsergu ri will be a life time experience. Yala peak climbing begins after leaving the kyanjing village with our climbing gear and necessary outfit.
Yala peak climbing route is below the chunk of frozen glacier coming down to the narrow valley from the cross section of Yubra peak and Yala peak itself. Towards the summit of Yala peak, we climb along the ridge, with outstanding view of mountains all around our head.
Yala peak In april
April is a peak month of spring season in Nepal. In April Nepal welcomes thousands of climbers to the tallest mountain of the world, Mount Everest. So, April is also a good season for trekking in Nepal and is a best season for this trekking peak ‘climbing’, to yala peak in Langtang.

Spring season observes the stunning beauty of the rhododendron along the forest of Langtang valley trekking trail, which is also a reason to recommend April as a best season for Yala peak climbing.
Colorful flowers, green forest on route to the yala peak base and the mild weather on this month surely entertain climbers and attract them to Yala peak climbing. Weather in April is also favorable for the trekking as well as peak climbing in Langtang.
