The UT Ladakh Kangri peak, located in the upper valley of Rumtse village, is a prominent snow-covered peak that was recently explored and successfully climbed by local mountaineers from the Ladakh Mountain Guides Association in 2019. UT kangri is the best for those who are new to mountaineering and planning to do a six-thousander at the beginning.
Although the trail to the top of UT Kangri is beautiful, it is also challenging and requires prior experience in high-altitude trekking. The summit day is the longest and most exhausting day of the expedition, lasting around 10-11 hours. Climbers will be roped up in a team and will need to climb steep slopes in deep snow conditions. However, reaching the top of UT Kangri is rewarding as it offers breathtaking views of the surrounding Himalayan ranges such as the Karakoram, Zanskar, and Stok ranges that will be etched in the climbers’ memories forever.
We have modified the usual itinerary in order to turn it into a rigorous winter training program. This will help the climber learn the skills and techniques of mountaineering in the best way possible. You will learn the use of Ice Axe and Crampons. You will alos undertake the skill training that includes Anchoring, Rappelling, Use of Ice Pitons, Fixed Ropes, Jumaring, Crevasse Crossing and more.
