Trip Facts
Overview
Stok-Khangri Peak
Plan Holidays discover the Stok-Khangri peak (6150m) trek which is majestic and mesmerizing and one of the most popular treks and beautiful peaks in Ladakh, This is absolutely a non-technical and requires no special mountaineering skills. Stok Kangri is one of the most beautiful peaks in Ladakh. On favorable conditions, you can make the summit and return in one day from the base camp and have the pride of conquering a peak more than 6000m. The summit presents one of the most spectacular views of the Sasser peak in the Karakoram Range, where the K2 lies. From the top, you can see one of the best in the Himalaya offering great views of the Zanskar and Karakoram ranges including the second highest peak in the world.
The vast terrain with patches of scant vegetation along the river banks surrounded by barren and desolate highlands makes the journey more beautiful for the questers. It offers beautiful landscape and there are good chances to spot some high altitude wildlife. Being near from Leh, this peak has been very popular among those trekkers who want to try something really high. One of the most popular and challenging trekking peaks in the Indian Himalayas and its proximity to Leh makes it very accessible. The pass offers great views of Stok Khangri and the route to the summit from the base camp. Spend the entire day getting acclimatized to the high altitude.
This is very important, to ensure that you can handle the thin air at high altitudes. From base camp, we descend all the way to Stok village. This is a great walk passing by numerous ruins of old forts and castles. View Tibet in the distance, an outstanding vista of snow-capped peaks. The trek allows a serious pursuit of Ladakh and the views compensate for all the hardships that one has to bear while camping on this high altitude cold desert. In the morning to avail of the best weather conditions and a possible sunrise at the summit. You climb onto a ridge which leads to a large glacier. It is the lifelong memory for the travelers.

Reviews
Simply put “WOW”.
Simply put “WOW”. I have never met more responsible people in my life. They made sure every step of the way was taken care of from the drivers, tour guides, trek guides, porters and hotel accommodations. I highly recommend this company for its hard working, responsible and friendly people. The people make a company. Special thanks to: Anuja “the planner”, Chitiz & Ashmir “the ultimate trekking guides” and finally Robin “the enthusiastic jungle bird watcher”.

San Diego, CaliforniaPlan Holidays did a fantastic job on our whole trip!
Plan Holidays did a fantastic job on our whole trip! We did the trip that included time in Kathmandu, Pokhara, Chitwan National Park and a 5-day trek around Annapurna. From the moment we stepped off the plane, we had guides showing us around and everything was perfectly planned for us. Maila, our trekking guide was amazing and had so much knowledge! It was a great trip!

Boston, MassachusettsIncredibly well organized
This company was amazing. Incredibly well organized. I felt safe and spoiled. Our airport transports were always early and waiting for us. All of our reservations for our accommodations and busses were perfect. The temple tour we took was super fun and educational. Some of our luggage got stuck in our layover country and between this travel agency and our hotel they were able to get it for us and deliver it the next day. We also had a 10month old traveling with us and they made sure that our accommodation and travel plans were safe for him. During our 5 days of trekking, we had THE BEST guide/sherpa. I would positively let them plan another trip for us. Thank you!!!!

I had a wonderful experience
I recently booked a tour with Plan Holidays, and I had a wonderful experience. Anuja scheduled the tour, and it was comforting to have our trip covered without any concerns. Our guide Shiva took us through Kathmandu, and showed all us the highlights of the city and provided us with the cultural and historical background. We also did the Poon Hill Trek with guides Chitiz and Ashmir, who provided a peaceful hike through the Himalayas. On our last two days, we spent time in Chitwan National Park, where our guide, Robin, took us on adventures where we saw crocodiles and rhinos.
The entire package was affordable, and our guides met our every need; they went out of their way for us on many occasions. It was comforting to get off the bus and see our guides waiting for us with our name tags. I would highly encourage anyone to book a trip through this company. I promise that you will have an amazing experience–five stars!
