This is a fantastic two week adventure trekking through the Langtang National Park in Nepal culminating in an ascent of the relatively non-technical 5500 metre high Yala Peak which close to the Tibetan border and north-east of Kyangin Gompa (3870m).
The mountain can be climbed in three days from the Gompa with using a high base camp (Yala Kharka) at 4800m and a spare weather day, and it provides a vantage point from where the 8013m peak of Shishapangma can be seen. Yala involves some scrambling on rock and the travelling on snow which can be soft or hard according to conditions. Crampons and a walking axe are necessary, as is a helmet in case of a fall or slip, and we also recommend a harness and sling in case the guide needs to help someone down.
