Excellent Arrangement :Yala Peak Climbing Review

The three friends from Canada climbed Yala Peak in the Langtang Valley in early 2017. This is the most suitable summit for the budget conscious and looking for a less technical high altitude climbing adventure.

We didn't have much time but we were interested in peak climbing and this seemed like one of the cheapest and fairly affordable trips we could find. Due to a lack of mountaineering experience, we thought it would be a good idea to have a guide with us.

The Langtang Valley is magnificent; It is a very surreal experience to be surrounded by peaks of 6,000 and 7,000 meters. There are also big differences in the landscape, flora, and fauna as you move to a higher altitude.

Our Trekking Company, Nepal Tour & Trekking Service P. Ltd. did an excellent job of providing the necessary equipment for the trip. Almost all needs have been met and they are extremely professional. The food in Nepal is good and healthy too. We would like to thank the entire team and our tour guide Pema Sherpa for the trip. It was a fantastic time that we appreciated. We would recommend this trip if you have the time and funds. Physically it's not too difficult so I think if you are in good shape you should be able to reach the top. However, the body's response to altitude can vary and is largely based on genetics.
