Join Find Your Feet & 360 Expeditions on magical trekking trip to Stok Kangri, 6,153m, which is the highest mountain of the mysterious Ladakh region of Northern India. The trek is a fantastic entry level 6,000m peak as the ascent is not considered technical, especially as the majority of the mountain is snow-free in July – early September. This remote trekking adventure mixes hiking with festivity, authentic rural experiences and Western comforts to provide an introduction to mountain climbing that is hard to beat and long remembered.
The tour delivered by 360 Expeditions arrives from Delhi into Leh (at 3,524m) where the first few days are spent acclimatising, exploring the town and local monasteries. Our trek then begins at Choksi where one extended family farm the small, verdant valley. From here the trek is a wonderful ascent through wild Indian countryside, rural villages and up into spectacular mountain scenery of plunging rivers, steep gorges and high passes surrounded by majestic snow-capped peaks.
This 14 day expedition into mysterious Ladakh is certainly one not to be missed. It is a land of many contrasts, as one of the highest, driest inhabited regions on Earth, a semi-desert where Buddhism meets Islam, India meets Tibet and where the Himalayas meet the Karakorum. Dotted with small villages and ancient monasteries, the high mountain panoramas blend into eternal blue skies and vibrant festivals spring up with cheerful regularity. Feel your toes tingling? We do!
