The long trek is designed to help your body to ajust toSTOK KANGRI TOUR altitude and maximize your acclimatization before the summit bid. You trek in unspoiled Indian himalayan region through arid landscape and remote valleys. From Base Camp you wake up in early morning to start your climb for an awe-inspiring sunrise at the summit.

The climb of Stok Kangri provides more... stunning views over the Ladakh region, the Karakoram valleys and the the Himalayan range across Tibet.
