Yala Peak
याला पिक
An entry-level trekking peak at around 5,500 m, reached in 2–3 days from Kyanjin Gompa, with views of Shishapangma.
Yala Peak is one of Nepal's most accessible “trekking peaks.” At about 5,520 m (official figures vary), the climb runs from Kyanjin Gompa via the Yala Pasture Camp to the summit, taking 2–3 days round trip. The final stretch crosses rock and snow slopes and requires crampons, a helmet and a guide, but the technical difficulty is low, making it suitable for those trying high-altitude climbing for the first time. A climbing permit from the Nepal Mountaineering Association is required.
