Day wise Itinerary

Day 1 : Arrival in Leh

It is recommended to spend a couple of days for acclimatization in Leh as the town is at around 3500 meters altitude. There are lots of places to shop, eat out and sight seeing near Leh.

Day 3 : Zinchen to Rumbak

It's a short and interesting trek today as we walk up over an impressive gorge with tantalizing views of snow capped peaks beyond Rumbak. It's also a necessary stop over before acclimatization for Stok La Pass. From Zinchen we will cross the stream and continue towards left of the gorge alongside river. In the meanwhile we will be crossing a rickety old wooden bridge. We will be crossing the river stream again on our feet. There will be some boulder hopping this time and then the trail leads us towards a confluence of Zinchen River and a water stream. We will be crossing another wooden bridge before we reach a place with Buddhist prayer flags and then we reach another bridge and push our final ascent to fields of Rumbak village facing snow capped ridges on the Stok Range. There is a small eatery (Dhabha) and our campsite at 3850 meters. Here one path leads towards Markha Valley Trek however we will take the side trek towards Rumbak Village (4000 meters). Here are some houses amid fields of Barley and Mustard and prayer flags. We camp here tonight while enjoying the weather and beautiful scenery and explore Hemis National Park.

Day 4 : Rumbak- Stok La Base

Today is another short but rewarding stage following a well defined trek leading from Rumbak to base of Stoke Pass. The route takes us across views that are spread towards scant grazing land and high windy ridges. As we trail ahead the location of the Stok La becomes more visible. The trail gradually ascends and while leading us through scant vegetation takes us to the base of Stok La (4400 meters). From here the ridge of Stok La is visible, and with good eyesight we can even see the flags on top of the ridge on a clear day. The views are amazing back down the valley across to the elevated grazing pastures and the impressive ridges. We camp tonite.

Day 5 : Stok La Base to Changma via Stok La (4900 meters)

The ascent to the Stok La is rewarded with panoromic views that extend north the snow-capped Ladakh range and to the distant peaks that form the East Karakoram. When we reach the pass we will be rewarded with magnificent bird eye view down the Indus Valley and the settlements 1300 meter below. The climb to the pass is steep and we have to take baby steps to avoid getting tired along with deep breaths. Stok La is a double pass, after crossing one pass there will another pass in 10-15 minutes of reach. From second pass there are views down the Doksar which means a high grazing area where villagers from Stok tend to their sheeps and goats in summers. There is a steep descend towards Doksar which usually takes an hour or a little longer. Here there is a spring line and wild flowers and beautiful campsides, however we will head down further alongside the gorge to reach Changma (4100 meters). There is a small dhabha (eatery) here and this site is frequented used by groups ascending for Stok Kangri Base Camp. We will camp here tonight.
