Stok Kangri Expedition Trek Jun to Oct Tour

Package Overview

Tour History

Stok Kangri (6,154 meter’s (20,190 ft.)) is the highest mountain in the Stok Range of the Himalayas in the Ladakh region of north-west India. The peak is located in Hemis National Park 12 km southwest of the trailhead (3,610 meters (11,844 Ft.)) in the village of Stok and around 15 km southwest of the city of Leh, the capital of Ladakh.
Despite its high altitude, Stok Kangri is a popular Trekking Peek  and is often climbed as an initial non-technical foray into high altitude mountaineering. However, the difficulty of Stok Kangri is often underestimated and the need to acclimatize before and during the ascent makes Stok Kangri an enduring challenge.
In late July and August, all but the top of the peak may be snow-free. The elevation data was verified by GPS readings from 11 satellites at the Summit during a late July 2007 joint Nepalese-US expedition which encountered snow cover for 85% of the final four-hour, four km, 900 meter climb. Another GPS reading provided a 6136-meter elevation. The shortest route to the peak is along the Stok valley, following the Stok Chu to Stok village. This valley's grazing landscape, especially near the village, was devastated by the 2010 Ladakh floods, the most severe in decades.
Ascent
Over the last few years, Stok Kangri has become tremendously popular amongst trekkers and novice mountaineers due to its non-technical nature. The peak is considered non-technical from July–August, but becomes quite technical during the height of winter. Even in summer, novices should be well prepared, with appropriate physical fitness and equipment. The climb is exhausting and requires a good amount of stamina, both physically and mentally.
Despite its relative ease, the 6,153 m peak presents the usual challenges of a mountaineering expedition. Acclimatization in Leh, particularly for those who fly in from Delhi, before attempting the trek/climb and altitude acclimatization during the ascent, is essential. The biggest hurdle at such altitudes is rarefied air, which can cause acute headaches, nausea and other symptoms of altitude sickness even in fit climbers.
It can take anything from two to five days to reach base camp (4,980 meters (16,339 Ft.)) from the village of Stok, depending on acclimatization schedules and fitness levels The summit day lasts 8–14 hours, ascending over 1,000 meters (3,281 Ft.) from Stok Kangri's base camp to its summit.
