Mt. Yubra Himal Expedition

Overview

Climb Mt. Yubra Himal climbing peak in the Langtang region of Nepal. It is a very rarely climbed peak with under 10 attempts since 2002, when the first permit was issued to climb Yubra Himal.

The trek follows the regular route of the famous Langtang trek up to Kyangjin Gompa and then heads to the base camp of Yubra Himal. The climb requires 4/5 days and is a really interesting alternative to others crowded peaks.

Expeditions and Climbing Peaks

All our expeditions and climbing peaks are supported by satellite phone, two way radio, support oxygen (when required) and comprehensive first aid medical kit. We only use top quality expedition tents.

High Altitude Warning

Safety is a major consideration during all our expeditions however there are dangers involved in climbing 6000m, 7000m and 8000m peaks that cannot be avoided. The extreme altitude, weather, cold and other mountaineering hazards ensure high altitude climbing has unavoidable risks at the best of times, members of our expeditions need to be aware of these dangers and accept that they are an integral part of high altitude mountaineering.
