    Expedition to Stok Kangri

    At 20,182 feet, Stok Kangri is the highest mountain in the Stok range of Himalayas, which offers one of the most challenging yet conquerable routes in this range. At different stretches of the trek the oxygen levels differ, and therefore the trek offers ample time for acclimatization. This is an ideal prep trek for enthusiasts who eventually intend to conquer tougher summits.

    IMPORTANT: This is not a fixed departure trip, so a minimum group size of 5 pax is required to make a booking. This will be a private trip, just for your group.

    Destination

    Being close to the stunning town of Leh, the trek itinerary includes exploring these treasure towns situated in Ladakh. You will get to witness and experience the daily life in small hamlets of the Himalayas. The trek also offers splendid views of the Zanskar and Karakoram ranges from the summit.
