About the event

                                                                       ABOUT THIS EXPEDITION

The majestic Knag Yatse mountain range dominates the Markha Valley, featuring four peaks. Among them, Kang Yatse l is a challenging mountain, boasting a 6401-meter corniced dome summit. In contrast, Kang Yatse ll is a trekking peak with an elevation of 6223 meters. The ascent to its base camp is steep, further complicated by soft snow and loose rocks along the route to the summit. This mountain ranks among the highest trekking peaks in the Indian Himalayas and surpasses the more popular Stok Kangri, which falsely claims to be the highest trekking peak in India. Climbing Kang Yatse ll presents greater challenges, as it is more remote, steeper, and longer compared to Stok Kangri.

Therefore, Kang Yatse ll offers a fantastic opportunity to conquer a 6223-meter trekking peak in Ladakh without requiring mountaineering expertise, although possessing such skills is beneficial. With its striking presence, Kang Yatse ll dominates the Markha Valley, standing out prominently among nearby peaks that also exceed 6000 meters. It serves as an introduction to mountaineering techniques essential for ascending higher and venturing deeper into the Himalayas. Even the most experienced and physically fit trekkers will find the altitude, terrain, gradient of the ascent, snow conditions, and cold to be challenging. Being a less renowned and more distant mountain, Kang Yatse provides a pristine and awe-inspiring view of the Ladakh Himalayas—The Mystical Land of High Passes.

If asked to recommend the ultimate climbing and trekking experience in Ladakh, Kang Yatse ll would top our list. Not only does it offer breathtaking scenery in the Himalayas, but it also provides a higher adventure factor compared to the more commercialized and tourist-laden Stok Kangri.
