Stok Kangri Peak:
and offers a chance to ascend Stok Kangri, a 20,130ft/6114m peak.
The track approach from the west of Leh, climbing steeply from the Zanskar River towards the rugged Ladakh
and Zanskar Range.
This stark region of high passes and wild mountains is softened by the immense charm of the Ladakhi villages and their inhabitants. Trackkers cross one high pass after another, including the seldom-used Kang La where they have chance to ascend Palam Peak, a warm up for Stok Kangri.
They can continue towards the spectacular scenery of the Stok Range, where we begin our ascent. The tough, but optional and non-technical climb provides stunning views extending across Ladakh to the Karakorams, the Himalaya and into Tibet.
How Reach Stok Kangri:
1.) Fly to Leh from Delhi or By Bus or Taxi.
2.) Drive to Choksi. Steep ascent to Kang La (5260m) and optional climb of Palam Peak (5360m) for superb views of the mountains.

4.) Optional ascent of Stok Kangri (6114m) The route is non technical, but there is a short, exposed section near the summit. Those not attempting the peak can trek up to the glacier for stunning views.
