LANGTANG CLIMBING CAMP TREK & CLIMBING COURSE
(15 days)
The Langtang Climbing Camp is a unique opportunity to include within a two week holiday, a trek to the Langtang Valley, a Classic in its own right and an introduction to the basic skills of mountaineering culminating with the ascent of Yala Peak (5500m).
Within two weeks in Nepal this trip gives an ideal cross-section of all that is the essence of this wonderful mountain kingdom: the alleys, courtyards, palaces and temples of Kathmandu, the terraced "middle hills', the high glaciated valleys and pastures, the stunning views of the Himalaya, including several of the world's highest peaks, and an amazing mix of cultures, religions and races. And combined with the trek into the dramatic Langtang Valley the main objective will be to climb Yala Peak, technically straightforward but very much a Himalayan summit with stunning views in all directions and surrounded by high, snowy peaks and glaciers.
This trip will allow participants to have a through grounding in basic mountaineering skills from our experienced and qualified leaders for those who are keen to take up mountaineering as a pursuit, or for those who are curious about mountains and mountaineering and simply wish to give it a try, for the enjoyment of experience alone. Either way by the end of this trip participants will have enough in the way of skills, as well as the confidence gained from the achievement, to go on to greater things in the future-and what better place is there to learn about mountaineering and to be inspired to climb peaks than the Nepal Himalaya!.
