When you arrive at Tribhuwan International Airport, one of our company representatives will be there to greet you. They'll help you check in and then take you to your hotel.

Once you're settled in, you can spend the rest of the day shopping for any equipment you might need and getting to know the area around your hotel.

Today, you have two tasks: preparing for the Yala Peak Climbing Permit and exploring the Kathmandu Valley.

To get the permit, make sure to bring your passport, three passport-size photos, and a copy of your travel insurance policy.

During your sightseeing in the Kathmandu Valley, you'll visit some amazing UNESCO World Heritage sites. Your tour starts at Pashupatinath, a sacred Hindu temple where people worship Lord Shiva along the banks of the Bagmati River. Next, you'll visit Bouddhanath, a Buddhist temple often called 'Little Tibet'. Then, you'll head to Swayambhunath, also known as the Monkey Temple. Finally, you'll explore Kathmandu Durbar Square before returning to your hotel. If you have time, you can do some last-minute shopping in Thamel before calling it a day.

Your Yala Peak Climbing adventure begins with a trip to Syabrubesi from Kathmandu. We'll pick you up from where you are staying. After breakfast, we'll drive to the starting point of our journey.

During the drive, you'll see beautiful views along the Trishuli River, with big mountains like Mount Annapurna, Ganesh Himal, and Manaslu in the distance. The scenery on the way to Syabru Besi is really pretty.

When we get to Syabru Besi, you'll have time to explore the village and the area around it. It's a wonderful way to start our climbing journey!

Today, during our Yala Peak Climbing Trip, we'll face some tough terrain as we move from Syabrubesi to Lama Hotel. The trail runs alongside the Bhote Koshi River, offering beautiful views along the way. To make sure we get to our destination before it gets dark, we'll start our walk early.

As we hike through remote and rugged landscapes, we'll eventually arrive at Lama Hotel. Along the journey, we'll visit Guru Rinpoche Gompa and walk on a stone-paved trail next to the Langtang Khola.

We'll cross suspension bridges and pass through bamboo forests, where we might see the famous Red Pandas. The path is lined with oak, fir, and pine trees, creating a peaceful atmosphere. Keep an eye out for wildlife like black bears, monkeys, and Himalayan tahrs.

Before reaching Lama Hotel for the night, we'll pass through towns like Rimche and other nearby communities. Take time to enjoy the beautiful scenery and peaceful surroundings as we explore this beautiful area.

Starting from Lama Hotel, the Yala Peak Climbing Itinerary will lead you through various challenging terrains until you reach Langtang village. Along the way, you'll encounter some of the most beautiful views in the area. To reach Langtang Khola, the trail passes through a forest filled with oak and rhododendron trees, with fir and maple trees lining the pathways. The hike becomes more difficult as you ascend to a vantage point where you can see Mount Langtang Lirung (7244 meters).

To reach Ghora Tabela, you'll cross several suspension bridges. Along the way to Langtang, you'll pass by mani walls, chortens, and prayer wheels. The Langtang National Park scenery includes the charming community of Langtang, with flat-roofed homes and stone walls scattered throughout the village. There are also fields of buckwheat, potatoes, and barley. Once you reach Langtang, you can enjoy the breathtaking surroundings and spend the night there to relax.

Today, the Yala Peak Climbing trail offers beautiful views as you hike up steep slopes from Langtang village to Kyanjin Gompa. Along the way, you'll see Buddhist landmarks like chortens, mani walls, and prayer flags. Before reaching Mundu, you'll encounter challenging terrain, climbing a high hill on a cliff, still at an altitude of around 3442 meters.

To reach Kyanjin Gompa from Mundu village, you'll pass through different communities, streams, and wooden bridges. From there, you'll continue your journey amidst stunning scenery and see the impressive icefall from Langtang Lirung. Take a break and enjoy some snacks while taking in the revered Kyanjing Gompa. Later, relax at a tea house in the evening, surrounded by the beautiful surroundings.

Today on your Yala Peak Climbing Itinerary, you'll take a day to acclimate to the high altitude. This is important to help your body adjust to the lower oxygen levels at higher altitudes, ensuring your comfort and safety on the trails.

During this day, you'll have time to explore the beautiful surroundings, including the peaceful monastery. It's a great place for quiet reflection and maybe even some evening chanting. Nearby, there's an old cheese factory where you can try some tasty dairy products.

If you're feeling adventurous, you can also hike to nearby peaks like Kyanjin Ri and Tserko Ri for stunning views of the Langtang Lirung glaciers. Another option is to visit Langshisa Kharka for a side trip.

After your explorations, you'll return to your accommodation at Kyanjin Gompa for the night. This rest day is crucial for your well-being and to prepare for the exciting climb up Yala Peak.

Today, you'll start your hike from Kyangjin Gompa to Yala Base Camp, which marks the beginning of your journey to climb Yala Peak. Along the way, you'll face challenges, but the beautiful scenery will make it an exciting adventure.

To reach Yala Base Camp, which is at 4600 meters above sea level, you'll follow different paths. You'll enjoy awe-inspiring views of snow-covered mountains like Ganchenpo, Tserko Ri, Naya Kanga, and Yala Peak itself. The base camp offers incredible panoramic views of the entire Himalayan range.

As you get ready to climb to the summit with your experienced guide, it's essential to prepare carefully and pay attention to every detail for a successful ascent.

This is the most crucial day of the Yala Peak Climbing Itinerary as it marks the summit day. Early in the morning, you'll begin your ascent of Yala Peak. The summit is not overly challenging, making it suitable for beginners with good physical fitness. However, you'll still encounter various obstacles along the way and will need to use mountaineering tools to navigate through different sections.

During the ascent, you'll have the opportunity to marvel at the magnificent mountains and natural wonders of the Langtang area in exquisite detail. The journey to the peak and back to Kyanjin Gompa typically takes around eight hours.

From the summit's highest point, you'll be treated to awe-inspiring views of all the surrounding peaks, including Dorje Lakpa, Naya Kang, Tserko Ri, Langtang Lirung, Shishapangma, Ganchenko, and others. Feel free to capture as many photos of the beautiful scenery as you like before beginning your descent back to the base camp.

After descending, you'll return to Kyanjin Gompa, where you'll spend the night.

After a wonderful stay at Kyanjin Gompa, it's time to bid farewell to the lovely Buddhist community. Today's trek will be longer than before, so be sure to enjoy a hearty breakfast while admiring the awe-inspiring views of the snow-capped peaks.

Following the same trail, you'll backtrack alongside the Langtang Khola. Along the way, you'll pass through well-known yak herding settlements and expansive alpine fields before reaching Langtang village. From there, continue on and veer right towards Ghodatabela. As you descend swiftly, you'll eventually reach the Lama Hotel.

Upon arrival at the Lama Hotel, you'll settle into one of its cozy teahouses. Afterward, take some time to unwind and appreciate the picturesque views of the swaying pines and rhododendrons in the mountain breeze.

After enjoying a delicious breakfast at the Lama Hotel, your Yala Peak Climbing adventure will resume towards Khanjim. The trek from Lama Hotel to Khanjim typically takes about five hours, following a mostly downhill trail. As you descend, the trek becomes less challenging.

Before reaching Khanjim, you'll pass through Sherpa Gaon, where you can take a break and experience the local way of life.

After breakfast in Khanjim, you'll make your way to Syabrubesi, marking the end of your hiking adventure. Today's path will take you through bamboo and rhododendron forests, where you'll cross several rivers using suspension bridges. Compared to the challenging terrain you've faced earlier, this part of the journey is relatively straightforward and enjoyable.

Upon arrival in Syabrubesi, you'll check into a lodge for the night. Before heading back to Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal, you'll have some time to explore this remarkable location one last time.

Today marks the end of your Yala Peak climbing journey as you take a bus from Syabrubesi back to Kathmandu. Before departing, fuel up with a hearty breakfast to prepare for the return trip. Along the way, you'll pass through terraced farms, quaint towns, rivers, and steep slopes, with lush green trees lining the route alongside the Trishul River.

After a full day of travel, you'll arrive in Kathmandu late in the evening feeling tired and ready to relax in your room. If you have the energy, you might take a stroll through the bustling streets of Thamel.
