Day 04-05 Leh - Stok Village(3650m) - Stok Base
Camp (4900m) (Trek/5-6 hrs)
With three good days spent on acclimatisation, on
day 4 and 5 you set off to Stok Kangri. On day
4, post a short drive, reach Stok Village and
tour the palace and gompa. Post which, you
commence the hike through Hemis National Park. It
will take you around 5-6 hours to reach the base
camp. In the course of the two days, you will
ascend from the campsites for altitude gain
following the simple principle of acclimatisation
which says 'climb high - sleep low'. Overnight
for both the days will be spent in tents.

Day 06 Base camp - Stok Kangri(6153m) - Base
Camp (4900m), (Trek/10-12 hours)
From the basecamp, begin super early (around
2am). Your head lamps will show the trail for
some hours till the sun rises. From the start
there is a steep ascend to the ridge just above
the camp, the rest of the trek will continue in a
similar manner. The last stretch is very steep
and the thin air adds to the challenge. Once on
top, you can set your eyes on Karakoram and
Ladakh range to the north, the Zanskar Range to
the west and a bird's eye view of the Indus
valley and the Leh city. Savour the moment of
conquering a 6000m peak . The climb to the top
will take anywhere between 6 to 8 hours while the
return trip will take us around 4
hours. Overnight will be spent in treks.
