Excellent Service for Lobuche
We made our Lobuche Peak permit and porter with Marvel Tours and Travels. Asim was super friendly and helpful. And the permit process was super easy. And the porter ram was friendly and fun. Highly recommended. ❤️

It was our pleasure to assist you with the permit arrangements, and we’re glad to know the process felt smooth and easy for you. Asim will be very happy to hear your kind words, and we’ll make sure to pass your appreciation to our friendly porter, Ram, as well. Your recommendation truly means a lot to our entire team. ❤️ Wishing you many more incredible journeys ahead. We hope to welcome you again for another adventure in Nepal! 🌄✨

Marvelous trip with marvel treks
Marvel treks made my dream come true for doing my trip to Yala peak unfortunately I could not make it successful but I am happy if I would like to come back once again

Perfect organization in Nepal
In my time in Nepal, the Marvel agency perfectly organized my permits and my hotels in the mountains. On my bike trip of the Annapurna circuit I was therefore able to enjoy nature perfectly
Response from the operator: Dear Traveler, Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! We are delighted to hear that we were able to organize your permits and accommodations in the mountains to your complete satisfaction. It is very important to us that you feel carefree during your trip – and we are happy that this allowed you to fully enjoy your cycling tour on the Annapurna Circuit. Thank you for your trust. We would be thrilled to welcome you back to Nepal one day – for new adventures and unforgettable experiences in the Himalayas. Warm regards, Ashim Kumar Lamsal Marvel Treks & Expedition

Yala Peak Climbing: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kathmandu.
How much does Yala Peak Climbing cost?
+
Prices start at $1500 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Kathmandu usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Yala Peak Climbing take?
+
Plan for about 240 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Kathmandu is not rushed.
Is Yala Peak Climbing worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Kathmandu, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Yala Peak Climbing?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Yala Peak Climbing suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 12. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 240-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Yala Peak Climbing?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Kathmandu can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Kathmandu and add a light layer if any part of the 240-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Yala Peak Climbing start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Kathmandu within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Kathmandu?
+
On Outty we rank every Kathmandu experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Private Kathmandu Sightseeing Tour | UNESCO World Heritage sites, Manaslu Circuit Trek, Classic Everest Base Camp Trek. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Kathmandu?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Kathmandu?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
