With Stok Kangri becoming over crowded the more viable and quieter option of a trekking peak in Ladakh is Kang Yatse. It is a prominent peak in the Markha Valley. the peak has two summits. Kang Yatse 1 is a challenging climb and typically only attempted by experienced mountaineers. Kang yatse II is lower at 6250m and is recommended for trekkers looking at an experience of climbing a 6000m peak. It is recommended to follow the Markha valley trek and acclimatize enroute and get then prepare for the climb. On a clear day from the summit views as far Nun Kun & Zanskar ranges in the West & the K2, Broad Peak & Gasherbrum Massif in the far North.
