Kang Yatze or Kang Yatse is a mountain located at the end of the Markha valley in the Himalayas in the Ladakh region of northwest India. It is located in the Hemis National Park. The mountain has two main summits, the lower western peak is easier and more frequently climbed, although lower at about 6200m. The higher eastern peak is the true summit although less frequently climbed as it is across a technically difficult knife-edge traverse. An alternative is to climb the North East ridge then directly up the steep snow face.
  • Elevation: 6,400 m (21,000 ft)
  • Parent range: Himalayas
  • Easiest route: Western ridge on the mountain's north side
