Accommodation is included in the price
of your package. We make sure to offer you the most comfortable accommodation
possible during your stay.
During the trip, the nights will be
spent in clean and comfortable tea rooms with high quality and good food.
Single rooms usually have two narrow beds. Family-run accommodations are a
great place to meet Nepalese. In Nepalese culture, a guest is equal to God, and
this has undoubtedly become a reality even more, as the tourism industry has
improved its meager income opportunities.
During the climbing period, we will
provide all camping equipment and three hot meals per day Breakfast, lunch,
dinner, tea/coffee, and boiled water. Meals will be tasty and hygienic. On the
day of the summit, we offer a packed lunch with high-calorie foods that are
quickly consumed at high altitudes. In addition to climbing Sherpa guide, there
will be another team of porters to carry the camping gear and set up tents and
a well-trained cook.
It must be adequately protected in terms
of the insurance. You will need specialized travel insurance to participate in
risky activities. We recommend a comprehensive travel insurance policy that
covers cancellation, loss of luggage, theft, injury, liability, medical
treatment, death, and expenses. Make sure the insurance covers all the
activities you will do during your stay in Nepal, including trekking and
climbing. If a client requires medical treatment, all hospital expenses,
including physician fees and repatriation costs, are borne by the client.
If you are injured and cannot walk in a
remote area, a helicopter rescue will be arranged. We have an agreement in
Kathmandu that guarantees the payment of evacuations by helicopter. We will
give the helicopter operator a cash deposit and collect the money once it has
been rescued. Before leaving on an expedition, we will ensure that your policy covers
mountaineering explicitly; otherwise, you may have a hard time settling the big
claim.
Safety for Yala Peak Climb
When traveling in remote mountainous
areas, uncertainties such as weather, health problems, and natural disasters
require flexibility. Although our goal is to follow the route, your safety is
always our priority. We ask for your cooperation in accepting the decisions and
advice of our trusted and experienced guides if they consider it necessary to
change or cancel part of the route due to safety problems.
We must also plan some additional days
since bad weather can affect the schedule. It does not guarantee a successful
climb, but often avoids the disappointment of a cloudy day at the top.
Trekking guide and staff arrangements
The most important thing that makes your
Yala Peak Climbing successful, enjoyable, and memorable is the qualified,
experienced, courteous, and helpful hiking guide and crew members who can
handle your days in the mountains with no hassle. The best and most
professional leaders will lead your walk. All of our trekking managers are
carefully selected based on their appropriate experience, leadership skills,
and personal skills. To support local communities, we only employ local staff
who have sufficient familiarity with the geography, culture, flora, fauna, and history
of their local regions.
Acclimatization
The route for Yala Peak Climbing is
planned with a high degree of knowledge of AMS (Acute Mountain Sickness).
Acclimatization will help you adapt to a gradual change in altitude, ensuring a
successful journey. A separate day in Kyanjin Gompa is reserved for
acclimatization, but it is essential to remember that some visitors are more
vulnerable than others.
Fitness and experience conditions
Yala Peak Climbing Trek is rated 2B,
which means that the technical aspect of climbing requires the use of ropes,
ice axes, and crampons. Besides, the real point of climbing Yala, as well as
trekking, requires a functional cardiovascular condition. Climbing to Yala Peak
will usually require 5-6 hours of walking per day. However, on the day of the Yala
Peak summit, you will need to hike 8-9 hours. No previous climbing experience
is required; however, last high altitude climbing and trekking experiences will
always be a benefit. There will also be pre-ice training for participants to
facilitate the expedition. The training will mainly focus on the use of
climbing equipment such as ropes, ice picks, harnesses, crampons. It is
essential that participants with pre-existing health conditions, such as heart,
lungs, blood, and other medical needs, consult their physician before
traveling.
The Yala peak is not technically demanding, but at 5500 meters above sea level you will feel that the lower oxygen levels and the additional energy are used up, and of course, you are open to the elements. You will have to pay attention to your hydration and maintain a slow and manageable pace.
by Anthony S. Sandoval, Canada
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.
