Kang yatse 2 trek with Himalaya Shelter

The Kang Yatse 2 Trek is a thrilling expedition in the majestic Markha Valley of Ladakh, leading to the summit of Kang Yatse 2 (6,250 meters)—one of the most accessible trekking peaks in the Indian Himalayas. Starting from the quaint village of Skiu or Chilling, the route takes you through the picturesque Markha Valley, with its vibrant landscapes, ancient monasteries, and remote Ladakhi villages, before heading towards the stark alpine zone of base camp.

Though technically less demanding than other 6000m peaks, Kang Yatse 2 still offers a challenging summit push, especially in the final leg, where crampons and ropes may be needed depending on the season. A panoramic view from the top that includes Stok Kangri, the Karakoram ranges, and endless layers of Ladakh’s rugged beauty. Perfect for trekkers looking to transition into mountaineering, Kang Yatse 2 is both a physical and spiritual high.
