Yala peak (5732m) is a part of the Langtang Himal which is located in the central part of Nepal and falls under Langtang National Park. Langtang region is rich in bio-diversity and consists of various flora and fauna. Walking through the dense forest and traditional ethnic Tamang settlement, you reach the wonderful Kyanjing Gompa which lies just below the Lantang Lirung (7246m).

Yala Peak is a fantastic beginner's mountaineering trip suitable to anyone having trekking experience. Just to the north of Kathmandu in the Langtang region, this 5732 meters peak is situated in a beautiful valley of rich grazing pastures and indigenous Tamang people. 

Yala Peak climbing is rewarded by stunning views of Lantang Lirung (7246m), Lenpo Gang 7083m), Dorje Lakpa (6990m) and mighty Shishapangma (8027m) on the Tibetan side. It is one of the easiest peaks to climb in Nepal. You will use rope, ice axes and crampon for the last 300-400 meters climbing after late autumn to early spring.
