Spituk to Stok Trek

After meeting the trek guide by 09:00 hrs, you'll board vehicles that will take you to the Phey Bridge over the Indus River. From here, you'll disembark and begin trekking towards Rumbak. The route will take you to the Zingchen Gorge through a winding trail along the Indus River. At the Gorge, there are a few restaurants where you can stop and rest. Your trek will resume as you proceed to Rumbak through the Spituk valley. The trail, rarely frequented by snow leopards, will increasingly turn narrower and rougher. As you get closer to Rumbak, the trail grows wider into open fields with snow-capped mountains not far away. Overnight at Rumbak in homestay.
