DZOJONGO KANGRI

LADAKH, INDIA

Markha Valley is one of Nepal's lesser-known destinations, yet a jewel of plenty. This, however, is becoming in popularity little by little. This valley is famous for having two peaks named Kang Yatse, Kang Yatse 1 and 2. To get a feel for just how close Kang Yatse Peak is to the following peak, it is just necessary to locate DzoJongo Peak. It is around the same height as the peak of Stok Kangri, which is roughly 6240 metres tall. Kang Yatse 2's summit ascent is more akin to an enduring steep climb rather than a technical climb. This is better than StokKangri because of this.

The highest point in the Markha Valley is the head of the valley in the vicinity of Kang Yatse hills. There are two summits on the DzoJongo: the tough and difficult ascent to the genuine summit, and the challenging descent back down. This peak can be approached from the Markha Valley to the south or from the Skui Valley to the north. Similar to the Kang Yatse Expedition, this is the same path. but we prefer to use the route on the left side of the road, which is in the Lato town, near the Manali-Leh highway

Kang Yatse, StokKangri, Changtang valley mountains, and distant Karakoram range are all seen from the summit of the hill. Shiul, Chak, and Kongmaru La passes (5100+ metres) mark the start of the trek, although in most treks this isn't more than a detour. If you are at Kongmaru La, you can see the nicer side of Markha Valley.

The extremely steep ascent called DzoJongo Peak is completely unwalkable with just crampons and rope. Newcomers to the sport should err on the side of caution with StokKangri, but those with some experience should proceed with caution. It's a terrific opportunity for anyone seeking to reach 6000 metres and something that shouldn't pose much of a challenge. Those who are training for huge mountaineering excursions can also benefit from using it.

Kang yatse I

Kang Yatse 1 peak lies in the renowned Markha valley in the Ladakh region. Markha valley is a popular trekking spot in the Himalayas. One can spot Stok Kangri, Saser Massif, and Karakoram range peak doing this trek.
