Trekking selected by us consists of two stages: the first part of the route passes rarely visited by tourists Ripchar Valley, the second goes via popular Markha Valley. These routes can be done as one long nine days trekking, or two separate, short treks of 5 and 4 days respectively. Read more…
While planning our several days trekking, we were looking for interesting, but not too technical six-thousand peaks. The choice was obvious – the hightest in the area surrounding Leh – Kang Yatze reaching 6400 m, situated continently at the end of the Markha Valley trekking.
Kanglacha – mountain named Stok Kangri by the British, is really popular amongst foreigners since the 80s. This relatively easy six thousand-er can be done in 3 days from Leh. The record time to climb it is supposedly 10h 45min, done by some German guy, as the locals say.
