Dzo Jongo Peak Trek - Bikat Adventures

Dzo Jongo is a 6,240M peak which might be every bit as mysterious as any urban legend you ever heard! Hidden like a mystery in plain view, Dzo Jongo is one magical peak. Although housed in the popular valley of Markha, this marvelous peak has been overshadowed by its much popular neighbours, Kang Yatse I and II for much too long. Dzo Jongo, therefore, does not see too many climbers, reserving all the mighty sights, its icy slopes and the breathtaking 360° view of the nearby ranges, just for you. Starting from Leh, the trek takes you through the magnificent and arid landscape of Ladakh. What's fascinating is that the peak stays hidden from view till you get to its very base - the first 5 days of the trek keep you wondering whether the mountain in question actually exists. Does it actually exist? Yes it does! Is it gorgeous? Based on our experience, we'd say every bit worth the wait!
