Yala Peak

The Tsergo Ri giant landslide occurred close to Yala Peak.

The flora and fauna of the peak and surrounding area consist of Rhododendron, Snow leopard, and Red panda.

In its first leg, climbers choose to go to Kyanjin Monastery 3,900 m (12,800 ft), a famous Buddhist pilgrimage place, to adjust to the altitude and climate.

As the Nepal Government regards Yala Peak as a hiking trail, it doesn’t demand any special climbing permit.

The hike to the summit from the base camp is 9 kilometers in total, taking 5 to 6 hours of time.
