Descriptions

Kang Yatse II is a towering western peak of the mountain Kang Yatse, which is breathing a vibrant life in the key Himalayan region together with its twin eastern peak, Kang Yatse I. The rugged, pyramid-shaped peak stands at an elevation of 6,250m above the ground at the end of Markha Valley in Ladakh. But the surprise about its beautiful location does not stop here; the peak also harbors Hemis National Park on its premises. So, someone with a mindset to climb this beauty will surely be exposed to the rich wildlife of the Himalayas; animals like snow leopards, argalis, and mountain deer will come as a scenic delight to your eyes.

It takes around 12 days to reach the Kang Yatse II mountain top from Leh and has an easy level of difficulty as compared to other Himalayan expeditions. You don’t have to have any technical mountaineering knowledge to climb this expedition. And this summit will be a great conquering milestone for all those aspiring trekkers who wish to take up the difficult levels of expeditions in the near future because it will help you test your limits.

Once you register yourself for this expedition with Himalayan Holidays, your trekking adventure will start from Shang Sumdo village and make you take a steep climb up the Markha Gorge until you reach the lush-green meadows of Nimaling, perched at an elevation of 5130m. One has to climb at a very fast pace to reach Nimaling because of the rocky footing, and once you reach there, you can lose your tiredness to the surreal view before you trek again towards the summit.

As a reward, you will go through an inexplicable journey of a lifetime and will be served with a surreal view of other mountain tops like K2, Broad Peak, and Gasherbrum Massif in the north and Nun Kun and Zanskar Peak in the west.
