Details

Extension of Langtang Valley Trek, Yala Peak Climbing holds all the fun and adventure of walking through tropical forest to easy alpine trail. Additional reward, the culture of Tibetan Tamangs living in the region for centuries.

If you are willing to make your trekking a bit more challenging, we have an option- Yala Peak. Yala Peak 5732m is the easiest climbing peak in Nepal. Lying north of Kathmandu, Yala Peak is the most popular climbing peak in Langtang Region. So, trekkers who are fit enough to trek to Kyangjin Gompa and hike to Tesrgo Ri 4900m can easily undertake the challenge of climbing Yala Peak.

Trekking to Yala Peak begins at Syabrubenshi- the famous starting point for most of the treks to Langtang Region, which is almost nine hours drive from the capital. Five days of trek through the beautiful lush vegetation of Langtang National Park occasionally emerging into the authentic Tibetan Tamang villages we arrive to the sacred highland monastery Kyangjin Gompa 3800m. Kyangjin Gompa is a wonderful place- surrounded by mountains in all directions; we get to see 3600 view of the Himalayan peaks dominated by Langtang Lirung 7246m. 

For the proper acclimatization we will have a day hike to Tsergo Ri 4900m and the following day we set out to conquer Yala Peak. Before the day we summit Yala Peak we get high up to the meadow at 4800m and fix our camps there. As the day to summit comes, first we climb along the easy trail but the final 700m of the climb through snowy path demands crampon, ice axe and even ropes at some point. The summit of Yala caters beautiful views of Mt. Shishapangma (8046 m) and Mt. Gangchempo (6388m). After the successful summit we retrace the trail back to Syabrubenshi.

Trip Highlights
  • Summit Yala Peak at an altitude of 5,700 meters, which is considered a trekking peak and offers a non-technical climb.
  • Enjoy panoramic views of Shishapangma, the highest mountain in Tibet.
  • Experience the rich cultural diversity of the Langtang region, home to Tamang, Sherpa, and Lama ethnic groups.
  • Take in the stunning vistas of Dorje Lakpa, Nayakanga, Tserko Ri, Langtang Lirung, Shisapangma, Ganchenpo, and numerous other mountains in the Tibet region, creating a memorable Himalayan experience.

Excellent all round
Completed the three peaks pass with access Nepal. Hiked for 15 days straight. Found a couple of day’s challenging. The challenge made the adventure even more special. Found access Nepal to be a great company. Everything was organised and constant communication between their office and our designated go between. Our guide Subodh was fantastic. Provided plenty information on cultural landmarks along the walk and of Nepal itself. He encouraged us to go at our own pace and was flexible with the path to make some days easier and catch up on other days. We had 3 sherpas Netra, yubaraj and Dipesh. These guys are beasts and well deserve a generous tip. All in all the trip was fantastic and the price for the trip was on the low side compared to other tour companies and they are a local company that rely on word of mouth. Would book them in again when going back to Nepal. David (Australia)

Guaranteed support and unique experience with Access
I did the Three Passes Trekking with Access and I can assure you that it was the best experience of my life. Sadhana gave me all the support a few weeks before the trip, organized the itinerary, a guide gave me all the tips before the trip, clothes, health, itinerary, tips and everything else. In addition to everything, Lakpa was my guide, I don't know what would have become of me without him, he recognized the moments when I was very tired, he arranged all my organization for a peaceful stay in the lodges and he gave me a lot of support. Anyway, I recommend Access with my eyes closed, I want and will go back to Nepal in the near future and do other trekkings. It was my life's dream come true!

Fantastic company that will give you the experience of a lifetime!
This is our second time going with Access Nepal, this time for our honeymoon, and it was just as fantastic the second time around. It's an absolutely lovely company that will handle your trip as professionally as possible, from arriving at the airport to leaving again. They listen to your needs and wishes, and customize the trip accordingly. We are always incredibly well taken care of by one of the managers, Sadhana, who is a dear friend by now, who always does anything she can to make the trip the absolute best it can be. And we couldn't have asked for better company or a more trustworthy guide than our guide Giri. The company has very high standards as to how they treat and compensate their staff, and its really visible in the content and pride shown by all of their staff members. As for the treks they offer, we've done both the Everest three high passes and the Manaslu circuit now, and both have been absolutely mind-blowing. There really is no other place in the world like the Himalayas. Every single part; the Jeep ride into the areas, the high roads, the mountain sides, the mountains following your every step; everything is just absolutely amazing. It's too amazing to describe in words or pictures. I can't tell you anything but to GO!!! It's well, well, well worth the time and cost!!

3 passes with Accsess Nepal
I had one of the best experiences of my life with Accsess Nepal, in the mountains of Nepal. To go to the Everest Base Camp is a dream of many. However, I wanted a little bit more, so I chose the "Everest 3 High Passes - 19 days" trek. Incredible. The sights and people of this wonderful place will remain etched in my memory forever. The company provided all the administrative support for my arrival in Kathmandu, through Sadhana. She was always very prompt with my various questions and ensured a perfect organization for my comfort and safety. And, finally, Devman. He was our guide during the trek. A first-rate professional. Very concerned about the safety of the group. Knowledgeable about the mountain and the fantastic Nepalese culture. He ensured that everyone individually enjoyed the best possible experience on this spectacular trek. I really recomend this company and if you can, choose Devman as your guide. Enjoy the mountain!

It was worth waiting so many years
I did the Everest Base Camping trek with this agency and it was much better than I expected. I made the trip alone and received all the support from Sadhana and had the most partner guide along with the porter. I felt safe and respected the entire time. We form a family and enjoy every day with great joy. This trip will stay forever in my memory and heart. Very grateful to the entire Access Nepal family, especially my guide Sobodh for all his care and teachings.

Grand tour of Nepal
Our whole trip to Nepal was excellent from the tailor made itinerary organized by Pratap to the internal transfers by car. The whole trip was professionally organized after several discussions until it was exactly as we wanted and the tour company did not fail us. Our guide Bimal was very protective and very knowledgeable and the driver Laxman was safe and very experienced. I would definitely recommend this company to friends and family as we got the exact trip that we wanted and expected. The hotels selected were fantastic throughout. If we were to do this trip again we would fly internally rather than drive as the roads were not that great. Thankyou Pratap for a memorable trip. Girish and Leena Bhome (UK)

Creo que he conseguido realizar uno de mis grandes sueños pero no hubiera sido lo mismo sin esta gran familia de guías y sherpas , ellos han conseguido que me sintiera super segura y sobre todo han conseguido que el trekking que he realizado con otras 22 personas se volviera todo como en un cuento de hadas. Super profesionales y muy muy atentos en todo momento, facilitandonos el día a día. Muchísimas gracias
