Stok Kangri is a stunning 6000m climb in Ladakh.

Background
Flying into Leh, the capital of Ladakh, the shapely peak of Stok Kangri is the most prominent and highest mountain visible. The region of Ladakh is a truly inspirational destination which was only opened to foreigners a few years ago. After a couple of days exploring the local Buddhist Gompas we acclimatise by following the remote Markha Valley trail through spectacular mountains and fascinating villages before taking a unique high level route to Stok Kangri’s base camp. Our campsites are set amongst the aromatic shrubs and wild roses and you may see the agile native blue sheep or rare snow leopard camouflaged against the bare mountains.

The ascent of Stok Kangri is both challenging and interesting, yet it is technically straightforward and an ideal objective for a first Himalayan peak. An early morning start will see us across an impressive glacier before easy scrambling across rock and snow slopes leads to the final narrow ridge to an elegant summit. A clear day provides spectacular and far reaching views across Ladakh and the Indus towards Tibet and the great mountains of the eastern Karakoram.This is a wonderfully varied trip where the people of Ladakh and their unique culture give a unique feel to a stunning trek and mountain.
