KANG YATSE II CLIMB

Classic high passes trek with Kang Yatse II Summit

Kang Yatse II, standing at 6,250 m, is one of the most sought-after trekking peaks in Ladakh, especially due to its relatively straightforward approach via the scenic Markha Valley. Its popularity continues to grow thanks to its accessibility for trekkers with basic mountaineering skills and its panoramic summit views. While Kang Yatse I is a more technical climb, Kang Yatse II offers a less demanding ascent, making it ideal for fit trekkers seeking a high-altitude summit experience.

From the summit, you’re rewarded with breathtaking views of the Zanskar and Karakoram ranges, as well as the distant peaks of the Mentok range near Tso Moriri to the southeast.

Crampons, ice axes, and ropes may be required during the early or late parts of the trekking season, and are definitely necessary in off-season conditions. During peak trekking months, the ascent is often possible without technical gear, depending on the 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.
