Yala Peak Climbing- 14 Days

After arriving at the airport, you’ll be welcomed by a representative from Ama Adventure. Check into your hotel, explore nearby areas, and attend the briefing.

After breakfast, you will head towards Swayambhunath Stupa, also known as the Monkey Temple. Perched atop a hill overlooking the Kathmandu Valley, this ancient stupa is one of the most iconic landmarks of Nepal. Believed to have been self-created, it holds deep spiritual significance for both Buddhists and Hindus. From the top, you can enjoy a panoramic view of the valley, surrounded by prayer flags, shrines, and playful monkeys that give the site its nickname.

Drive through scenic hills and winding roads to Syabrubesi, gateway to the Langtang region. On a clear day, enjoy mountain views during the bumpy but beautiful ride.

Today we trek to Rimche. Follow the Langtang River through dense forests and small villages. The entire journey crosses small villages and gradually enters the diverse subtropical forest of cactus bushes, oak, and Rhododendron. After lunch, the trek trail gets a steeper until you reach the peaceful Rimche area.

Today we trek to Langtang Village through isolated Tibetan settlements, waterfalls, streams, and beautiful forest scenery. After crossing Lama Hotel, we are rewarded with an incredible view of the Langtang Range. Buddhist stone mani walls along the trail add a spiritual touch. If you’re lucky, you might even spot a Red Panda. Langtang Village is filled with fluttering prayer flags, traditional stone architecture, and barley fields grazed by yaks. The village was heavily damaged in the 2015 earthquake and has now been completely rebuilt. After a long day, we rest here for the night.

Today we trek to Kyanjin Gompa through the longest mani wall in the region, traditional Tibetan settlements, and yak pasturelands. Along the way, we pass a spiritual water mill, prayer wheels, chortens, and rock mounds with inscriptions. The trail is incredibly scenic with views of rocky cliffs, Langtang Lirung, and its majestic glacier. After this beautiful hike, we spend the day exploring the monastery and learning about local life.

Today is a rest and acclimatization day. We hike up to Kyanjin Ri (4,773 m / 15,656 ft), a sacred viewpoint that offers an unforgettable panorama of the surrounding mountains. After spending some time at the top, we return to the teahouse. In the afternoon, we conduct a short training session to go over basic climbing techniques and equipment usage for Yala Peak.

Today we hike up to Otsego Ri, a sacred place offering sweeping views of the mountains. After spending time at the top, we continue to Yala Base Camp where we stay in tents for the night.

Early this morning, we climb Yala Peak with full climbing gear. From the summit, the 360-degree views of Langtang Lirung, Dorje Lakpa, and Shishapangma are breathtaking. After enjoying time at the top, we return to base camp and continue trekking back to Kyanjin Gompa for the night.

After breakfast, we start descending along the same trail back to Rimche. We’ll need to be careful while walking down to ease the pressure on our knees and legs.

After breakfast, we continue our descent to Syabrubesi by retracing the same trail. The trek is mostly downhill and easier compared to the climb.

After breakfast, we drive back to Kathmandu. Upon arrival, you can enjoy your last day by shopping for souvenirs or simply relaxing.

Today is your free day in Kathmandu for shopping, rest, or optional sightseeing. If you’d like, we can organize another city tour for you. In the evening, enjoy a farewell dinner to celebrate your successful Yala Peak Climbing journey.

Today is the final day of our trip. A representative from Ama Adventure will drop you at the airport and wish you a safe journey. We hope to see you again on another adventure.
