Himalayan Trek Stok Kangri, Ladakh

Stok Kangri, Ladakh

9 Days8 Nights

Event Overview

Stok Kangri:
It is the pride of Ladakh and one of the least explored 6000mt summits in India. Be the one to join the elite club of trekkers to have conquered the 20000ft / 6000mt peak. Being at 20K Ft it is still considered as an easy peak as this peak does not require technical skills. This route has been uniquely designed to approach the summit from one side and descend from the other.

Route taken by us in this trek is very unique and the entire route is filled with green pastures, high oxygen availability with a entry from one side and exit from the others. With this approach you will not have to repeat the route along with MUCH BETTER VIEWS of the valley.

Be careful to fill-up your water bottles, and keep them inside the backpack to stop them from freezing. We start by walking up toward the right. The trail is clearly visible from the camp. There is a steep ascent in the beginning, and then it gets moderate just before the glacier. It takes about two an half hours to reach the glacier. You have to traverse across the glacier. Take care while doing so as there are small crevasses here. As you cross the glacier the visibility also increases as the day breaks. You climb along a ridge, and then another ridge. The climb is steep. Then you come to a rocky patch. From here it is a walk along the final ridge. You may have a Vertigo effect during the final push. The snow is deep here.The trail is too narrow and every step has to be taken with caution. There is the effect of altitude also, so it is a slow progress. It takes about 8 hours to reach the top so you should be on the summit at about 8 A.M. The top is a small flat patch with lots of prayer flags fluttering in the air. The view from the top is awesome, Khardungla pass can be seen much lower. You can see the Karakoram ranges as far as Mt K2. Stok Kangri peak dominates the skyline. It is said that on a clear day if you are lucky enough you can see Kailash Mansarovar lake. The entire Leh town can be seen from here. To the south, you can view the Zanskar ranges. After tying our prayer flags and clicking some photographs, we start our journey back. Be cautious while descending. The snow patches can get slippery.
