Yala peak is a beautiful mountain in the Langtang region of Nepal which lies at an altitude of 5500 m. Yala Peak Climbing is a non-technical, and perfect peak for beginners. However, a basic mountaineering idea is required. According to Nepal Mountaineering Association, Yala Peak is categorized as a simple trekking peak. The climbing consists of simple scrambling with 25 degrees slope, 180m of snow climbing on a 35-40 degree slope, and 650m of climbing on the summit day.

The base camp for Yala peak lies at the height of 4500 m, from where you can see a stunning view of Langtang Lirung, Lenpo Gang, Dorje Lakpa, and the great Shishapangma which lies on the Tibetan side. Yala peak falls under the protection of Langtang National Park where you can witness a lot of rare flora and fauna. Rare animals like snow leopard, red panda, Himalayan Tahr, etc.
