Dual 6,000m Peak Expedition in Ladakh: Kang Yatse II & Dzo Jongo
Step into the world of high-altitude mountaineering in Ladakh with TrekNomads’ signature dual 6000m peak expedition featuring Kang Yatse II (6,250 m) and Dzo Jongo Peak (6,200 m). Set in the breathtaking Markha Valley, this experience blends the beauty of one of the best treks in Ladakh with the thrill of summiting two Himalayan peaks.
Designed for trekkers looking to level up, this journey is ideal for those transitioning from high-altitude trekking in India to beginner mountaineering in the Himalayas. The route takes you through scenic valleys, remote camps, and high-altitude meadows like Nimaling (4,700 m), building the perfect foundation for summit success.
Kang Yatse II is widely regarded as one of the best first 6000m peaks in India, offering a semi-technical climb with glacier travel, moraine sections, and rewarding summit views of the Zanskar Range and surrounding Himalayan giants. In contrast, Dzo Jongo Peak is a quieter, non-technical trekking peak in Ladakh, perfect for acclimatisation and gaining confidence on snow and scree terrain.
What makes this journey truly special is the opportunity to climb two 6000m peaks in one expedition, making it one of the most sought-after Ladakh peak climbing experiences. With fewer crowds, raw alpine landscapes, and a well-paced itinerary, this expedition delivers both challenge and immersion.
Starting from Leh (3,500 m), the adventure also offers a chance to explore the cultural side of Ladakh, from monasteries to mountain villages, before heading into the wilderness.
For those searching for the best Ladakh trekking and mountaineering experience, this expedition offers the perfect balance of adventure, altitude, and achievement.
