DZO JONGO CLIMB

Classic Markha Valley trek with Dzo Jongo East Summit

Dzo Jongo East, at a height of 6,200 m, is growing in popularity as a trekking peak due to its wide ridge, which makes it more easily accessible. The name Dzo Jongo comes from its twin peaks, with Dzo Jongo West, resembling the head of a dzo (a hybrid yak). From the summit, there are dramatic views of the Karakoram Range to the north, Zanskar to the west, and the Mentok range to the southeast.

The use of crampons, ice axe, and ropes may be required at the beginning or end of the season and is definitely necessary off-season. During mid-season, it can sometimes be hiked without technical gear, depending on snow and ice conditions.

Accommodation
In Delhi, we stay in a standard hotel with air-conditioned rooms. In Leh, accommodation is arranged in a standard hotel conveniently located near the local market and town centre, or in a comfortable family-run guesthouse. Wi-Fi is available in Leh; however, international mobile phones generally do not have network coverage in Ladakh.

Camping & Trek Support
The trek is operated on a full-service camping basis. Our experienced camp staff will handle all camp duties, including pitching and dismantling tents, cooking meals, and managing camp chores, allowing you to trek comfortably with only a day pack.

Most nights are spent wild camping in remote locations. Accommodation is in spacious two-person tents with enough room for kit bags. A separate dining tent is provided, complete with a table and folding chairs, along with at least one eco toilet tent (usually two) for evening use.

There is no running water at the campsites. Camps are set up near rivers or streams, and the camp staff will provide bowls of warm water for basic washing during the trek.

Worth Knowing
• In India, it is common for hotels to provide hot water only at certain times of the day to conserve energy. If your shower water is cold, please inform the reception so they can switch on the water heater.
• Toilet tents used during camping consist of a dug pit (prepared by our camp staff) inside a tent. Dirt or sand is provided beside the pit to cover waste after each use.
• Single rooms and single tents are available on request for an additional supplement, subject to availability. Please enquire at the time of booking.
