Glimpses of Spiti: Chandertaal Road Trip with Ki, Kibber and Kaza (3 Days)
Mt. Kang Yatse lies south east of Leh and is situated in Markha Valley on the top of the Nimaling Plateau. This beautiful peak is a desire for all the trekkers doing the Markha Valley, as they get 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 quite technical 6400mts. high. Though there are many options for this summit, the best way is to combine it with the Markha Valley trek. The way up the peak is not so tough and once you are on the top you would be stuck with wonder as you see the mountain ranges and the beautiful green valleys lying below. If you want to climb a 6000-meter peak and revel in physical hardships, you will love the hike to the top of Kang Yatse.
