Kang yatse 6250m
Kang Yatse Lies south east of Leh and is situated in Markha Valley on the top of Nimaling Plateau. This beautiful peak is a desire for all the trekkers doing the Markha Valley, as they are always having a glimpse of this outstanding peak while trekking there. Actually there are two peaks one is easy and non-technical 6250mts high, and the other one is quite technical 6400mts. high. Though there are many options for this summit, but the best way is to combine with the Markha Valley

Alternative: DZO JONGO (6055 mts)
You can Climb the peak DZO JONGO (6055 mts) is considered easier one as compared to Kang Yatse, but its well known for the beauty and mind blowing view from there. From the Dzo Jongo Peak we should see the Zanskar & Karakorum range and in the nort east even you can have the glimpse of Menthok, Chamsher and Lungser peaks situated near the famous Tsomoriri Lake 4600 mts. As Dzo Jongo is adjacent to Kang Yatse, same program can be used for 10 and 12 days and if you want to combine it with Kang Yatse than you need additional 2 days.
Beyond expectations!
Thomain Catherine & Family Recommends September 2, 2011
For the second time in 3 years when we asked Dreamland Trek & Tour to set up a "customised" 10-day trekking in the Markha valley for the 2 of us and our 13-year old daughter on horse very professionally, we contacted them without hesitating for a 12-day Lamayuru-Stok trek including Kang Yatse climbing in 2011. Once again we both appreciated their management team quality of service and constant availability together with the professionalism, efficiency and friendliness of the team during the trek: guide, cook, poneyman and mountainguide for the summit. Equipment, itinerary and camping places choices were excellent without speaking of the quality and freshness of Indian meals carefully prepared by a young Nepalese cook which added to our daily delights as icing on the cake!
Good for: Customised treks and tours;

Our typical day of trekking is based on an average level of client physical fitness coupled with the nature of our weather and terrain. This could include very warm days during summer, high passes, and the need to move between campsites which ensure adequate grazing for the ponies
- 06:00 Bed tea is served to your tent. A great way to warm up before packing up your gear.
- 06:30 Hot water is provided for your morning wash.
- 08:00 Your personal packing is complete and your trail lunch is available to place in your day pack. Your guide will go over the day’s travel plans highlighting those areas along the route you will want to visit.
- 08:15 Off on the trail with your guide, or with instructions as to the route and where he will meet you if he needs to assist with pony packing (dependant on party size).
- 12:00 Lunch along the route, often in a meadow or beside a stream. A typical lunch might consist of a sandwich, juice box, cheese, boiled egg, boiled potato, apple, cookies or chocolate bar.
- 17:00 In camp with a pot of tea after a great day of sights and trekking. The tent is up and you are making notes in your journal and taking photos of the picturesque landscape.
- 18:30 Supper is served. Time for more tea and, perhaps, an early bed.
Expect to have rather lengthy days of travel with plenty of time to take photos and look at the scenery, visit tea tents or local villages as you pass through. You will have plenty of time in camp each evening to meet with other travelers, compare notes, read a bit, take photographs or visit surrounding villages or sites either before or after your supper is served. By starting early you will have made substantial progress in the cooler part of the day, and will be able to take your time ascending the passes which can be up to 17,000 feet (5,180 M) on some routes, arriving at your next camp with some reserves of energy for the evening.
