Yalung Ri (5630m) is a beautiful trekking peak located in the sacred Rolwaling valley, Dolakha, Nepal. Rising above the alpine settlement of Na (4200m), it is often described as the perfect acclimatisation climb for those preparing to attempt higher summits in the region, such as Ramdung (5925m) or Dolma Khang (6330m).
Why Yalung Ri?
Accessible but rewarding: The ascent is non-technical by Himalayan standards, making it achievable for trekkers with basic mountaineering skills. Its altitude and gradual ascent provide excellent adaptation for bigger climbs.
Ideal For:
Trekkers who want to experience their first Himalayan peak.
Climbers preparing for higher summits in Rolwaling or Khumbu.
Adventurers seeking a balance of culture, scenery, and inner peace in a less-crowded valley.
