Itinerary

For those eager to reach Himalayan heights, the "Yala Peak Climbing" trip offers an excellent introduction to mountaineering. This 15-day guided adventure takes you to the summit of Yala Peak (5,700m) in Nepal’s stunning Langtang region, north of Kathmandu. Regulated by the Nepal Mountaineering Association, Yala Peak is considered one of the most accessible trekking peaks—perfect for climbers looking to expand their skills.

After a couple of days acclimatizing in Kathmandu, your trek begins in Syabru Bensi and winds through charming villages like Lama Hotel and Kyanjin Gompa, offering cultural encounters along the way. The highlight comes on Day 9, when you conquer Yala Peak and are rewarded with sweeping views of the Langtang range, including the 14th-highest peak in the world, Shishapangma, located in Tibet.

The journey ends with a relaxed return to Kathmandu, allowing you time to reflect on your accomplishment. The unique selling point? A carefully guided climb that combines skill development, cultural immersion, and breathtaking Himalayan panoramas—ideal for those wanting to take their trekking to the next level.

Smooth, Scenic, and Superbly Organized I joined a 6-Day Marangu Route hike with Kilisa Tours, and the whole experience was seamless. The accommodations in the mountain huts were cozy, and the support staff made sure we were always comfortable. Our guide shared fascinating stories about the mountain s history and wildlife. Everything ran perfectly on schedule, and the company s attention to detail was impressive. I ve done many treks before, but Kilisa Tours stands out for their genuine care and world-class service. Couldn t have asked for more!
