The Yala Peak (5,732m) in the Langtang area of Nepal is a spectacular trekking summit. Unlike other Himalayan mountains, the Yala peak is just as much about hiking as it is about mountaineering. As a result of this, the journey to the top is more about exploration and absorbing the surroundings then sheer technical climbing.
Also, because of the nature of this trip, it is perfect for people who are still new to high altitude climbing. And because it is not a technical climb, you will have ample time to learn the basics and gain much need practice and experience for future, more difficult climbs. Some of the skills I will be more than happy to help you with include walking while roped up, hiking in crampons, using an ice axe, route planning, and much more.
However, this trip is not just a climbing course. You will have the chance to see all of the beauty of the Langtang valley. You will get to see amazing peaks like Shishapangma (8,013m) and Gangchempo (6,388m). You will get to see the Langtang village, Kyangjin Gompa. You will get to spend a few days exploring Kathmandu. Finally, you will also get to scale the beautiful Yala Peak and behold the view from its amazing summit.
Many trips that allow you to see as much as this trip does are incredibly challenging and require a great deal of expert skill. However, on this 2-week trek you will get to learn and practice just as much as you will get to enjoy and experience.
So please, send me a message if you want to join me on this trek. Let me guide you through the Langtang Valley and up to the summit of the Yala Peak.
If you are looking for a bigger mountain and a bigger challenge in Nepal, I can also guide you on a 20 day trek to the top of the Mera Peak.

Mountain Guide
Hi! I'm Jyamchang, IFMGA/NNMGA certified mountain guide. I work together with a team of certified and professional mountain and trekking guides. If I'm not available to guide you, one of my colleagues will take great care of you.
I come from the East part of Nepal, between Makalu (8,470m) and Kangchenjunga (8,586m). I am IFMGA/UIAGM fully certified since 2009.
I have 20+ experience of climbing in the Himalaya. I’ve climbed Mt Everest (7 times), Mt Cho Oyu in Tibet (2 times), Mt Ama Dablam (8 times), Baruntse (2 times), Island peak (15 times), Lobuche (10 times), Pokhalde (10 times), Mera peak (10 times), Mehera peak (5 times), Chulu far east (3 times), Mt Shishapangma until camp 3, Manaslu until 7200m, and Chulu West, Lhakpa ri and other another few more times.
I also have extensive experience of climbing in Europe: France, Italy, UK and Norway (where I work for three months during the summer as a glacier guide).
I'm also a technical mountain rescue coordinator for the 8000's.
It will be my pleasure to guide you through your journey whether for trekking, peak climbing or any mountaineering expedition. Get in touch and let's discuss about the purpose of your trip.

As some famous mountaineer once said about his Sherpa climbing partner, Jyamchang belongs to a new generation of Nepali guides who really love to climb. For them, mountaineering isn’t just about business. And that’s the reason why we got along very well whilst attempting the ascent of Ama Dablam in April 2017. We were lucky enough to be able to meet beforehand in Chamonix for a thorough check-up of the equipment and a briefing on the various logistics. I found him to be that kind of straight-to-the-point, smiling and organized person I was hoping to have as a guide and partner for an ambitious climb above 6000 meters, which I had only performed once before (on Island Peak). We met at the airport in Kathmandu and joined a good friend of mine and his trekking guide, who accompanied us during the acclimatization trip across the 3 passes and on to EBC. This gave us plenty of time to get our bodies accustomed to altitude. Jyamchang and I performed a daily health check-up to monitor the effects of altitude, a routine which I found to be very professional. We had agreed during our first Skype discussions that we were going to climb alpine style. That is minimum logistics, no fixed ropes etc. The idea of climbing a difficult mountain such as Ama Dablam without these facilitating artefacts strongly appealed to me, and I appreciated that Jyamchang pushed for this approach of the climb. This was not just pulling the client to the top of the mountain and then collecting the summit bonus. Unfortunately, due to poor weather conditions the day before summit day, we were unable to reach the summit. However, I found that Jyamchang’s attitude during the difficult descent with rapidly degrading weather conditions, and another party that we had to help descend, was again showing a professional and competent approach to the mountain environment. All in all, we had a great time in the beautiful surroundings of the Khumbu valley and may be climbing together again in a future expedition. I can strongly recommend Jyamchang for trekking and climbing elsewhere in the world (Jyamchang also guides in Norway). Martin, 32 - Belgium

Professional, competent and friendly guide who always takes great care of the clients. We were a group trekking and climbing during 21 days in the Everest region with the company. We were a group of friends who all knew the guide on beforehand, and knew how good he is at his work. We were very pleased with the experience we had. I can recommend the company for everyone who wants a great experience in the Himalayas.
Stay up-to-date on the best adventures.
