YUBRA PEAK Climbing

Mount Yubra (6035m), lies in the Langtang region, North of Kathmandu valley and nearby Langtung Lirung Himal. "Yubra" literally means "covered with snow". The climb offers amazing views of Ganesh Himal, Rasuwa peaks, Langshisha Ri, Dorje Lakpa, Yala Peak, Naya Kanga, and Shishapangma peak at the backdrop, not to forget an interesting insight into the beautiful culture and lifestyle of the local Tamang people and the beautiful landscapes. The route to Yubra follows the regular Langtang trek upto Kyanjin Gompa and then heads to base camp of Yubra.

It designates a comparatively flat glacier area 3 to 4 kms long and 1.5km wide. The glacier is around 6000 meters high from sea level. Fin-like ridge of Yubra is visible only over Lirung glacier from Kyanjin Gompa.

Normally a 4-5 days trek, it's an interesting journey compared to other crowded peaks. Despite its technical appeal and stunning location, so far, only 10 climbing attempts have been made after climbing permit was issued, only as far back in 2002.
