Guiding, Food, and Camping
In Nepal, all trekking supplies - camping equipment, kitchen implements, food - are all carried by pack animals like mules, Yaks, and horses. Even Porters are common in Nepal. All trekkers are accompanied by a guide, a cook, and usually at least one horseman or yak herder. With the surest footing; they lead trekking groups across the passes. The horseman and cook will usually run ahead during a trekking day. They will have prepared a packed lunch for hikers and will go on to the night’s resting place to set up camp. They set up tents, cook dinner, and ready the area for arriving trekkers. When trekkers reach the campsite they are greeted with a hot cup of tea and biscuits in the dining tent. After six hours in the mountains, no drink will ever taste sweeter. For dinner, the cook will usually prepare a buffet of dishes that are as welcome as they are delicious.

Yala Peak stands at 5,732 meters (18,799 feet) above sea level. It is classified as a trekking peak by the Nepal Mountaineering Association (NMA) and is considered one of the more accessible non-technical peaks in the Himalayas, making it ideal for climbers with basic mountaineering experience.
Yes, an experienced climbing guide is highly recommended and often mandatory. Nepal's regulations require certified guides for most trekking peaks for safety and legal compliance. Guides provide route finding, basic mountaineering instruction, safety management, weather assessment, and emergency response. Given the high altitude and glacier conditions, a qualified guide is essential.
The best seasons for Yala Peak climbing are spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November). Spring offers stable weather and warmer temperatures with excellent visibility. Autumn provides crystal-clear mountain views and stable conditions. Winter is extremely cold and challenging, while the monsoon season (June to August) brings heavy snow and poor visibility, making climbing unsuitable.
