Overview
In the less explored parts of Nepal- the Langtang Valley’s peaks- lies the Yala Peak. It is a moderate climb and good for beginners. We will show you the ropes and take you to an amazing place- with clear views of some spectacular mountains of the Himalayas and get you back safely. The summit day, the highlight of the journey will give you a chance to see things few people have seen, including a 8000 meter peak. Go for it. It’s a great adventure.
