Kang Yaste II shines bright with its snow-capped peak in the Hemis National Park with an impressive height of 6,250 M. Although, Kang Yaste II Peak is the shorter mountain beside Kang Yaste 1 (6401 M) doesn’t make this beautiful peak any less challenging. Mount Kang Yatse is among the highest trekking peaks in the Ladakh region. Standing proudly in the middle of the dry land of scree and rocks, Kang Yaste Peak is a sight to behold. Kang Yatse Mountains 1 & 2 are in the popular Markha Valley. Although the expedition to Mt Kang Yaste II is not an easy feat under the excellent guidance of Adventure Tour Operator in India Kahlur Adventures, you will reach the top in high spirits. The best time to climb Mt Kang Yatse II is from June to September.

Mount Kang Yatse Expedition India will take you through varied landscapes on the way to the Summit. You will come across some mountain settlements such as Skui, Markha Nimling, Hankar, etc. We at Kahlur Adventures have a team of expert trek leaders and mountaineers who have spent several years of their life in the lap of the mountains of India.

The terrain is a combination of rocky formations, grasslands, streams, gorges and even vertical geological formations.
