Dzo Jongo East Peak with Markha valley Trek

Dzo Jongo Peak is a hidden gem and an offbeat trekking destination that not many people are aware of. The trek starts at Leh and takes you through the beautiful Markha Valley and what makes this trek more of a mystery is that the Dzo Jongo peak is not visible until you reach the base camp. In fact, in the first few days of your trekking, you will keep wondering where the peak is. Markha Valley is popular for its Kang Yatse 1 and 2 peaks but there is another 6000-meter peak hiding in the valley, slightly taller than Stok Kangri the Dzo Jongo peak.While the climb to the Dzo Jongo summit is not technical, it is quite a steep and challenging one. The Kang Yatse peaks have a technical climb but the Dzo Jongo doesn't, which makes it a great alternative. The peak is situated just ahead of Markha Valley next to the Kang Yatse Peaks and many routes can take you to Dzo Jongo, the route through Markha Valley, the same trail that takes you to the Kang Yatse Peak is the most popular one. However, we take the route from the Lato side.
