Despite not being extremely technical during the first few days, the Kang yatse 2 trek presents difficulties during summit day. For this reason, it is preferred that trekkers have previous experience in mountaineering and hiking at high altitude. Altitude is indeed a major consideration as the risks of AMS (Acute Mountain Syndrome) increase with every step you take towards the summit, so make sure to stay hydrated and to share any altitude sickness symptoms with your guide. Finally, check that your travel insurance covers hiking in altitudes above 3000 m.
