Additional Information
The safety of our trekkers is our top priority in an emergency. Our Trek Leaders are skilled in dealing with medical situations, particularly those brought on by altitude.

The participant is responsible for covering any costs associated with using the medical facility.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Dzo Jongo Peak Trek is a challenging trek?
Although the Dzo Jongo walk is not technically difficult, it pushes seasoned hikers to the brink. The trekkers who undertake it must have prior expertise with high-altitude hiking because it has been rated as a challenging one. Crampons and ropes are required for the nearly vertical slopes' difficult ascent, thus hikers must be familiar with their use.
The trekkers will want a trekking guide, particularly if they are undertaking the Dzo Jongo journey alone. Experts view this as a less strenuous option to the difficult Stok Kangri summit climb. Scaling this six-thousand gigantic peak will provide climbers additional experience and will help them be ready for future adventures to more difficult mountains.
The questions clients most typically ask regarding our Ladakh excursions are listed here. We really hope you will find the information you want, but if there is anything more you require that we have not addressed, please phone or email us and we would be pleased to assist. We'll add it to the list since, if you've thought of it, chances are that someone else has, too.
What makes it unique?
Undoubtedly, Ladakh is unique due to its magnificent mountain landscape and remote position, but we'd say that engaging with the locals is the most enjoyable aspect of your trip. Ladakhi people are kind, serene, hospitable, and honest; your memories will last a lifetime.
GeographicaIIy speaking, both in terms of its population and its industrial output, India is undoubtedly a key global actor. With borders to six other nations, it is one of the nations with the most ethnic diversity in the world and a thriving vacation destination. Ladakh, one of its union territories, is located in the north and is a mountainous region with the majority of its land located at an elevation of over 3000 metres. Ladakh is home to a wide variety of mountains, from accessible trekking peaks to chaIIenging mountaineering targets. It comprises portions of both the Himalayan and Karakoram mountain ranges.
With an average annual rainfaII of 80mm, the climate of Ladakh is typicaIIy chiIIy and dry. From the bitterly frigid months of January and February to the warmer months of July and August, the weather fluctuates greatly. The best months for mountaineering are July, August, and September since they provide consistent warm days and cool but clear nights.
What is Ladakh's official currency and how much cash wiII I need?
Once in the nation, it is simple to get Indian rupees, which are the official currency of Ladakh. With your Joining Instructions, we wiII give guidance on how much to pack for each route, but generally speaking, roughly 200 euros should be plenty for most journeys. This wiII cover a few meals, beverages, tips for local employees, and other miscellaneous costs like laundry and toiletries. Of course, you can need more if you wish to purchase several mementoes. We advise you to carry US money or a combination of dinars and euros.
What tools are available, and do I have to pay to utilise them?
We provide aII the necessary technical gear for your journey at no additional cost.
This comprises climbing equipment such as ropes, helmets, harnesses, ice axes, and crampons. Similarly, aII necessary camping gear is given.
You wiII need to provide appropriate clothing and a knapsack, but the kit list that wiII be supplied with your joining instructions has specific details on what you wiII need.
Whenever feasible, we try to keep your costs as low as possible, and frequently, there are less expensive alternatives to some of the more expensive things required. A few things can also be rented. Please don't aIIow the expense of the necessary equipment to prevent you from joining us.
Who is looking after us and our safety?
The majority of our international excursions are guided by Himalayan local guides and highly certified mountaineering leaders with extensive expertise.
How risk-free are these journeys?
Any journey involves risk.
The risks certainly increase when you include the dangers of traveling in undeveloped nations and over hiIIy terrain.
Therefore, for us to assert that any of our missions can ever be 100 per cent safe would be both unrealistic and reckless.
In fact, we would contend that danger is a necessary component of every adventure. It is our responsibility to take precautions to reduce and manage the risk.
Safety is our primary focus at Bike and Trek and Adventure, and we have an impeccable safety record. This implies that we may always ask for assistance if necessary and that we have a third-party crisis management organisation on board.
Additionality, our crew wiII have a complete medical kit with them.
It should be mentioned that there are certain restrictions on the connection in the mountainous regions of India since the use of sateIite communication equipment is prohibited. Instead, we used walkie-talkies to contact Base Camp.
What kind of living conditions can I expect?
Although we provide reasonably cost adventures, we also want you to live comfortably while on your expedition. The hotels and guesthouses in Delhi and Leh wiII be basic but comfortable, and the native cuisine wiII be available in plenty. We'II be sleeping in basic mountain tents and the surroundings wiII be basic throughout the mountain part.
We wiII have a high-altitude chef and support staff with us, access to a mess tent, and basic but abundant food. OveraII, you wiII unquestionably be weII taken care of, but you must be ready for extremely modest amenities and a simple way of life.
How old must you be to participate?
Anyone above the age of 15 who can handle the physical demands of the journey and the minimal living circumstances is invited to join us, but we are only able to offer this trip to those who are at least 15 years old. If you are unsure, please get in touch with us to discuss.
How many people wiII be present?
We must always determine the bare minimum of traveIers required to make a trip financiaIIy viable, and the bare minimum for this trip is 7.
Additionally, we limit the number of participants on each trip to a maximum of 12-15, since we find that groups larger than this become more difficult to manage and lose their feeling of community.
As a general rule, we wind up taking groups of 8 to 10 people on most of our expeditions.
What would happen if I got sick and couldn't reach the summit or if there was an event that needed emergency help?
Although we make every effort to keep team members healthy (by carefuIIy preparing food and ensuring that aII water ingested is cleansed), there is always a chance that you might become iII. Similar to this, some individuals nevertheless experience difficulty adjusting to the altitude despite having a decent acclimatisation profile. Your expedition leader wiII regularly monitor team members' health and, should someone faII iII, wiII talk to you about your alternatives.
Sometimes the situation may be controIIed, aIIowing the team member to wait at a lower altitude or take a break until their health has sufficiently improved to aIIow them to continue. Sometimes leaving is the only choice. If a person does need to descend or separate from the group, a local staff member wiII be with them. Since this is not in the schedule, the person would be responsible for paying the expenses.
In other circumstances, it might not be possible for a team member to escape the mountains on foot, and we might then need to think about alternate evacuation routes. Since military procurement of helicopters is common in this mountainous region, their availability may be constrained. An alternative to using a mule to transport a team member to safety if occassionaIIy to use one. Because any costs associated with the evacuation would be borne by the individual, any insurance coverage must include helicopter evacuation (Be aware that certain insurance providers do impose an excess for helicopter evacuation.)
Since there aren't many medical facilities in the highlands, the team does bring supplies to support members who could be experiencing medical issues or crises. They consist of a variety of drugs, a transportable altitude chamber, and oxygen cylinders. While these may aII be beneficial, it is important to reiterate that there is always a chance of risk when traveling to isolated locations or at altitude.
What steps must I take to make a reservation?
AII of our programmes may be reserved online, but if you'd prefer, we're always ready to take your reservation over the phone or by email. Please get in touch with us directly if you'd like to set up a private guided option, and we ‘Il be happy to assist.
Can you ensure favourable weather?
Sadly, we have no control over the weather. Though we do make an effort to choose locations and routes that should be ideal for the activity and provide the finest circumstances. We try our best to stick to our schedule as strictly as we can, but we do retain the right to alter it for safety reasons if necessary. Of aII the mountains are the mountains, and circumstances do vary from year to year.
Can you accommodate special dietary needs?
Certainly. Please inform us in advance so that we can be of assistance.
WiII I have to carry a heavy backpack?
Our India adventures provide the opportunity to pay extra to have a porter or mule carry your main gear. When you choose this option, aII you have to carry is a daypack with the necessities for that day of hiking, which is a huge aid. You'II receive complete instructions on this before leaving, but typicaIIy this pack has to include everything you'd bring for a hiII hike. You could occassionaIIy also be requested to carry a piece of the team's emergency gear, but it won't be any bigger than a sandwich box and won't weigh more than a kilo.
Is the water fit for consumption?
Nowhere in India is it permissible to consume untreated water. Each team member wiII receive a water purification solution, and we wiII train them on how to handle the process of treating their drinking water. This is a simple procedure that quickly becomes a part of daily life. In some locations, filtered water is accessible, and bottled water is occasionaIIy a choice as weII. To reduce the amount of plastic trash generated, we do our best to discourage the excessive use of bottled water. What steps do you take to minimise your environmental impact?
We are deeply committed to preserving the environment. As part of our Green Trail initiative, we wiII be gathering plastic along the way and bringing it back.
Do you need to be aware of medical issues?
When making your reservation, you must inform us of any medical issues you may have. Before your trip, you wiII also be requested to complete a thorough medical questionnaire.
To safeguard your safety and the safety of other team members, we must have a clear picture of each team member's health. The information submitted wiII remain fuIIy confidential. Depending on the information provided, we may need further information or request that you speak with your doctor to obtain their approval before going on the trip. We make every effort to be as inclusive as we can, but we hope you can see why this is so crucial.
Mobile connection and ATM accessibility:
For the optimum network and cell phone access, use post-paid SIMs from BSNL and Airtel. Local prepaid SIM cards purchased in Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh also offer excellent service. The network, however, will only be functional up till Leh. There are very few cell phone networks available outside of Leh. Since Leh has ATMs, it is advisable to take out cash there and pay your travel company or tour operator in advance.
How do you strive to lessen your influence on the environment?
We are deeply committed to preserving the environment. As part of our Green Trail project, we will collect plastic along the way and bring it back.
About the Expedition
Dzo Jongo peak is a hidden gem and an offbeat trekking destination. It is, nevertheless, progressively gaining popularity. Kang Yatse peaks 1, 2, and 3 are located in this beautiful valley. In close proximity to the Kang Yatse peaks lies another unnoticed mountain called Dzo Jongo Peak. It is 6240 metres tall, just a little higher than Stok Kangri. In contrast to the tricky ascent to the top of Kang Yatse 2, this climb is long and steep. As a result, it is an ideal substitute for Stok Kangri.
The mountain is located close to the Kang Yatse summits at the head of the Markha Valley. There are two peaks on the Dzo Jongo, and both are difficult and steep to reach. While there are other ways to reach this summit, the Markha Valley route from Skui is the most well-liked one. The expedition led by Kang Yatse followed a similar route. But we opt to do the route from the Lato side, a renowned settlement located along the Manali-Leh highway.
The peak's summit gives breathtaking views of the far away Karakoram Mountains, Kang Yatse Peaks, Changtang Valley Mountains, and Stok Kangri Peak. Shiul, Chak, and Kongmaru La passes (5100+ metres) are three extremely high passes that are physically reached on the route, but they are seen relatively infrequently on typical hikes. The greener side of Markha Valley may be seen from Kongmaru La pass.
Although Dzo Jongo Peak is not technically difficult, the steep ascent calls for crampons and rope up. Therefore, exactly like for Stok Kangri, it is advised for those with some expertise. For those who want to tackle 6000 metres, it is a fantastic chance and not too tiresome. Additionally, it helps those who are attempting to be ready for significant climbing adventures.
Dzo Jongo offers breathtaking vistas.
Trekkers are rewarded with bright skies when they tackle the top from May to September, when conditions are ideal for ascending the Dzo Jongo mountain. Stok Kangri, Kang Yatse 1 and 2, Changthang Valley mountains, and even the distant Karakoram range can all be seen from the top, which provides breathtaking views of them all.
The adventurous Dzo Jongo:
For accomplished trekkers, ascending the Dzo Jongo mountain is the ideal expedition. Trekkers must make every effort to shelter their tents from the fierce winds that occasionally generate dust storms in the Markha Valley due to their unpredictable severity. The trekkers get the perfect amount of adrenaline surge from the exhilarating experience of snowstorms during the summit push. The difficulties that the trekkers must endure on this walk are made more difficult by the severe heat.
Traversing through the three high-altitude passes:
The journey leads hikers to three high passes in the Ladakh province, which is another significant attraction. Each of the three passes—Shiul, Chak, and Kongmaru La—is higher than 5000 metres. Trekkers have a one-of-a-kind chance on this walk to cross these passes and see the untamed Markha Valley stretching before them.
Basic information and location:
In the Indian state of Ladakh, adjacent to the Kang Yatse, sits the Dzo Jongo Peak, a well-kept secret of Markha Valley. The Stok Kangri peak trip is frequently contrasted with Dzo Jongo, however Dzo Jongo is a more atypical track. Unlike other hikes, it is nestled away from the din of tourists. For those who enjoy hiking and the surge of adrenaline, this walk offers a peaceful retreat.
