Yala peak is a part of the Langtang Himalayan Range which is located at the central part of Nepal. The peak is seldom climbed in its own right, often being used as a warm-up for Naya Kanga on the opposite side of the valley. The summit gives surprisingly good views of Shishapangma if you are lucky enough with the weather. The climb is easy and suited for anyone with minimum trekking experience. We start in Syabrubesi after a 5 hour drive from Kathmandu and spend five days hiking up the beautiful Langtang valley to Kyanjin Gompa located at 3800 m. Kyanjin Gompa is situated below Langtang Lirung (7246 m) and we spend three days acclimatizing and taking day-hikes in spectacular surroundings. We establish base camp on a meadow at 4800 m and climb Yala Peak the next day. The last 400 m is on ice so we will be using crampons, ice axe and rope. From the summit we can see the magnificient views of Shishapangma (8046 m) ,the fluted Gangchempo (6388 m) and several others like Lantang Lirung, Dorje Lakpa, Ganesh Himal, Naya kanga peak. After the climb we return to Dhunche via Syabrubesi and drive to Kathmandu
