The Langtang Region is also a renowned destination for peak climbing. The region has numerous peaks like Naya Kanga, Yala Peak, Langtang Lirung, Tserko Ri, etc for the mountain expedition.

The Yala Peak climbing has become popular in Langtang as it doesn’t need a climbing permit and is technically easy. It is just 2 days of camping trek from the Kyanjin Gompa to the Yala Peak summit.
