Overview

Twin Peaks of Kang Yatse (Peak I &II) happen to be the most significant massifs in the beautiful Markha Valley in the Ladakh region. The lower of the two peaks, i.e. Kang Yatse II Peak, which is the western side, (which is at 6250 meters height i.e. 20500 feet high), is having a comparatively easier summit (Alpine PD that can be done with some difficulty) than the higher one. This can be a pinnacle for hikers and trekkers as there is no need to know any exceptional technical skills in climbing. 
 
There is also a hike back to the base camp while you're on the go. Indeed, this is a double benefit if you have experienced hiking at a good altitude with excellent fitness. Here, you'll be getting the best of both worlds, exploring a stunning valley in the Ladakh area, and climbing over 20,000 feet (6,000 meters high). You'll learn why this is one of the best hikes to the summit, ignoring the technical elements.
