A closer look at the journey.

Yubra Himal is approached through Langtang, where forest trails open into the broad valley around Kyanjin Gompa. The itinerary includes several days between the village and higher mountain camps before the summit attempt. Its quieter climbing setting requires a carefully agreed route and a team comfortable with glacier travel and remote camp life.

The programme combines an approach trek with time for climbing preparation and a summit attempt. Snow, glacier conditions and weather can change the route and daily plan. Tell us about your mountain experience before booking so that we can agree the equipment, guiding and preparation needed for this particular climb.

  • Langtang valley and Kyanjin approach
  • Base camp acclimatization time
