Kang Yatse (6400 M) lies south east of Leh and it 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 6200mts high, and the other one is quit technical 6400mts
Route detail & general observations The peak is high but needs no technical mountaineering qualification to climb. It gives a real opportunity to climb an above 6000 Meter peak within a week or more, which is not possible in any other part of the world.
The normal route goes up to the north side of the mountain on the western ridge. Go up the moraine as high as possible, then traverse the snow slope diagonally towards the top ridge. Then follow this ridge to the fore summit (6200m).
