YALA PEAK

Good for beginners

EX#508.

Trip Overview

The Langtang National Park lies in the north-central Himalayas of Nepal, bordering China’s Tibet autonomous region. A 120 km drive from Kathmandu, the park is home to around 4,500 inhabitants and a variety of plant and animal species. With subtropical bamboo forests at lower altitudes that ascend into alpine meadows where yaks graze, and pine forests interspersed with waterfalls, you’ll see a wide range of landscapes on this trek.
If you’re lucky you might catch sight of a Himalayan black bear, the elusive red panda or even a snow leopard. More likely are sightings of deer, gentle langur monkeys, or one of the 250 bird species of the park. In addition, you can see the blue poppy flower that is only found in the Langtang region in June and July.
For those interested in getting a taste of more adventurous alpine activity – beginners and experienced climbers alike – nearby peaks such as Yala Peak are our recommendation for a hassle-free climbing experience.
But besides wildlife and stunning views, the Langtang region is home to incredibly warm and welcoming people.

Trip Highlights

  • See snow-capped peaks including Langtang Lirung (7,245m), Langtang Ri (6,370m), Dorje Lakpa (6,990m), Langshisha Ri (6,427m) and Ganchempo (6,387m), which is also called the ‘fluted peak’ for this beautiful symmetrical lines.
  • Stay in the charming village of Kyanjin Gompa (3,860m) with its yak cheese factory, one of its kind in the himalayas. If you want to go higher, then day hikes to Kyanjin Ri (4773m) or Tserko Ri (4984m) can be done.
  • From March to May you can see Nepal’s national flower, the rhododendron, in bloom at lower altitudes. Stop to marvel as you go through forests of red, white and pink flowers en route to your next destination.
