The trek to Yala Peak begins in the low regions of farmland and small villages, eventually reaching Kyanjin Gompa. The Langtang region is famous for its adventures as well as its production of yak cheese. It is an ideal short trekking peak near Kathmandu, offering cultural immersion with the Tamang ethnic communities.
