01 DayArrival at Kathmandu. Transfer to hotel.Upon arrival at Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu, our team will warmly welcome you. We will then transfer you to your hotel in Thamel, the vibrant tourist hub of the city, in a private car. Take this time to check your essential hiking gear for a successful ascent of Yala peak. If needed, you can rent or purchase any necessary equipment in Kathmandu before your journey begins.
At morning we’ll drive on a northern highway that twists and climbs over mountain ridges to the Trishuli valley for lunch and on to Syapru village for the overnight. The road ride is still amazing but the adventure bus drive takes about 7 hours over picturesque landscapes and mountain villages.
After breakfast, trek ascends through the forest followed by a climb to reach Bamboo village. Bamboo is located on the Langtang river bank at an altitude of 1,850 meters. This forest path is a well established trail that follows upstream and can be seen birds life around the bushes. Beehives hanging on a cliff are another attraction for visitors. From here we’ll again steeply climb through the bamboo forest to reach the Lama Hotel where we’ll stay overnight.
From Lama Hotel, the trail leads across a forest of hemlock, oaks, maples, and rhododendron observing glimpses of Langtang Lirung, reaches to Gumanchok (2800m). Climb to Ghora Tabela (2,970m) and further ascends to Thangshyap (3,140m/10,300 feet). On the way, there is a Langtang national park entrance checkpoint where the Nepal Military verify your permits. Those who haven’t paid in Dunche, have to pay the Langtang national park fees here.
The trail climbs gradually to Sindum and to Yamphu (3640m) to Mundo. Crossing the Laja Khola then climbs a moraine to a viewpoint where you can see Kyanjin Gompa and the dramatic icefall flowing from Langtang Lirung and Kinshung. As you climbed the hill, walk a little down to reach kyanjin gompa lodges. If you have time, explore around the Langtang Lirung glacier including of its origin and as well as dry Himalayan Yak pasture on your way back.
Check about the Yala peak climbing gears before you proceed to hike to Yala base camp. We climb to Tsergo Ridge hill only if the weather is clear with a blue sky. In a clear weather, you can see stunning mountain vista of Langtang Lirung, Ganjala Chuli, Yala peak, Dorje Lakpa, and many other summits in a row.
Walk an hour further to Yala base camp to set up a campsite to stay overnight. Gokyo Treks Nepal’s expert climbing guide will brief climbing instructions in the afternoon. It helps climbers to get to the summit and descend to base camp safely.
In wintertime climbing, about the last 700 meters will require rope up and using crampons with a walking axe. There is a final shapely ridge to mediate the tiny summit. Except for the winter months, tourists can hike the summit without professional climbing gear.
Yala summit height is 5,700m and offers the best view of Shishapangma, Dorje Lakpa, Ganchenpo, Naya Kang, Tserko Ri, Langtang Lirung, and many other border mountains. Shooting the best mountains, we’ll make our way back to Base Camp and further downhill to Kyanjin Gompa lodge if time and energy permit.
There is no guarantee that we can get quite a favorable climate on our planned day for the Yala summit. So this day is used as a contingency in case we are unable to submit or for some other reason. If the weather gets exceptionally unfavorable we wisely have to modify the climbing program to reach the summit. If the trip goes smoothly, we do not need this spare day.
From base camp descends to Ghoda Tabala passing Kyanjin gompa and Langtang villages. During the hikes, you can walk over the tiny yak pastures and the glacial moraine of Langtang landslides, the new Langtang village. Furthermore, you can walk following the Langtang Khola and on to Ghoda Tabela lodge.
Upper part trek route is more beautiful for the panoramic view of mountains and green hill views. This path is broader and remains sunny through the different Sherpa and Tamang villages. The first half part of the trail is gradually down and then the trail does a steep descent to the Syabrubesi (1,600m/5,248 feet.). Nowadays, Syabrubesi bazaar is very popular because of a connecting highway to kerung border, Tibet.
11 Day Drive back to Kathmandu. Good Bye Kathmandu. Trip Finish.Drive back to Kathmandu by Kerung Deluxe Yatayat bus which takes about 7 hours to get to Kathmandu city center. Trip ends and we wish you a wonderful journey.
