Stok Kangri Climb
Stok Kangri at 6153m is a superb introduction to high altitude mountaineering in the Himalayas. It is considered a trekking peak that can be attempted without being bogged down by the technicalities and skill of mountaineering. On the other hand, Stok Kangri can prove to be a serious challenge depending on the snow and weather conditions on summit night.
In recent times this mountain has garnered so much popularity among amateurs and novice climbers, that it could easily be considered as the “common man’s Everest”! The most important aspect to consider while attempting Stok Kangri would be the acclimatization to high altitude. At 6153m, the peak is very high while the Base Camp itself is at a height of 4900m, as high as some passes one would encounter on a trekking trail in Ladakh, earning itself the name “The Land of High Passes” Hence, it is paramount to be completely acclimatized before the summit night increasing the chances for a successful attempt. For aiding acclimatization, Adventure Sindbad guides you through the sun-scorched slopes of Matho La and through the arid vast lands Gangpoche, before reaching the base camp on Day 6 of the trip.
The trek up Stok Kangri is scenic, to say the least. The vivid colours and hues of the Stok range changes as the curves that adorn the mountains. These steep slopes are home to some unique buckthorn shrubbery and other patched vegetation. The 'Bharaal' is a sight to behold in the mountains of the Stok Range. Also, the trek is layered with a stint of local essence, the shepherds living in the Doksas give a new perception to a 'hard life and a happy life', one gets to imbibe a little through their stories and generous offering of the local dairy products.
It isn’t everyone’s cup of tea to climb Stok Kangri, as there are no high camps allowed above Stok Base Camp, this stretches the summit night and increases exhaustion levels by the time we complete the attempt. The view of jagged mountain ranges, snow-clad peaks from the summit of Stok Kangri gratifies the journey through the night. As the trekkers’ descent, the panorama is much more enjoyed and absorbed with the jubilation of summiting Stok Kangri. The climb is definitely a test of endurance and promises to push your limits in a controlled setting. After high altitude trekking, this mountain would be the first step in your path towards serious mountaineering and reaching higher summits in the Himalayan range.
Just the trek minus the climb is in itself an extremely rewarding experience!

Itinerary
Stok Kangri Climb – Itinerary
Day 01: Arrive Leh(3500m)
Leh has one the highest airports in the world – Kushok Bakula Rinpoche Airport situated close to 3500m. Our representative will receive you as you walk out of the small airport and drive you to our hotel in Leh. The first day is reserved for total rest and acclimatization to high altitude. The body needs time to adjust to the rarefied air and lower oxygen levels. Best way to spend the first day is to just read, sleep and lounge around the hotel. Hydration is another aspect which is extremely important to aid in acclimatization. Briefing of the trip would be done post lunch.
In the evening we can saunter around the charming markets of Leh town.
Overnight Hotel, Meals:B
Day 02: Sightseeing Day
Another relaxed day spent mostly in sightseeing of the ancient monasteries and palaces in and around Leh. After breakfast we head to Shey Palace, the erstwhile capital of Ladakh. The palace and the monastery is situated on a hillock. There’s a meadow and a lake right in front of Shey Palace which are popular picnic grounds for Locals. We then visit Thiksey monastery which is famous for the 2 storeyed statue of the Maitreya Buddha. We return to Leh for lunch. Post lunch we finish any last minute shopping and do a gear check to ensure we have everything required for the climb. We retire to bed early.
Overnight Hotel, Meals:B
Day 03: Drive to Matho(3640m). Trek to Matho Chu(3770m)
Post breakfast, we head to Matho village about an hour’s drive from Leh where our support crew will be waiting with the horses. We spend some time loading horses with camping equipment and ration. Matho is a beautiful village with a big monastery at its centre. We normally start the trek from Matho before entering the Stok Valley as an acclimatization walk. The first day of trek is short and we follow the Matho Tokpo first on the right and then on the left to reach our small camp beside the stream. Post lunch and afternoon siesta we explore the grounds around and try to gain altitude. Return to camp by Tea time.
Trekking Time:1.5 to 2 hrs
Overnight Camp, Meals:BLD
Day 04: Trek to Gangpoche(4390m)
We continue walking upstream along the Matho Chu. Today they are multiple stream crossings and we will have to take off our shoes on many occasions to cross the Matho Chu stream. It is pretty swift and ankle deep in many places. In between we suddenly veer right, away from the main Valley and enter a thickly vegetated spot with willow. It is difficult to notice the path here, but it takes us to another Valley which leads to a mountain with zig zag trail. Gangpoche is about an hour’s walk to the top from the foot of this mountain. Gangpoche is one of the finest camps on this trail for its scenic beauty and proximity to the shepherd camps. The other peaks of Stok Range is clearly visible from this camp.
Trekking Time:5 hrs
Overnight Camp, Meals:BLD
Day 05: Trek to Yuruley(4550m) over Matho La(4900m)
Our acclimatization trek continues to Yuruley over the Matho La Pass(4900m). The grounds are expansive and we walk on a gentle trail, slowly gaining in altitude over 3 hours to reach Matho La. Magnificent views of the entire trail, Stok Range and Stok Kangri itself from the pass. We then descend steeply to our campsite at Yuruley next to some abandoned shepherd camps. These slopes are also the grazing grounds for horses and mules which carry load to the Base Camp and back. Since there is hardly any grass around the Base Camp, horsemen normally drop all the camping equipment and descend to Smankarmo and Yuruley to let their horses to graze.
Trekking Time:4 hrs
Overnight Camp, Meals:BLD
Day 06: Trek to Stok BC(4900m)
Today we enter the main Stok Valley and make our way upto Stok Base Camp. We are in total solitude till we reach the ridge point just above Smankarmo from where the Stok Valley comes to view. This is the Stok Highway which remains busy the whole of summer with groups trekking up and down throughout the day. As we make our way up, we are greeted by many groups making their way down after their summit attempt. Some beaming faces, some sad and some in all awe of the experience they have just been through. High chances of spotting bharals on this trail. We reach Base Camp by lunch time and rest for the remainder of the day.
Trekking Time:3-4 hrs
Overnight Camp, Meals:BLD
Day 07: Rest day at Stok BC
Our trek over Matho La would have helped a lot in acclimatization. Apart from that, our one night’s rest at 4900m would have further aided in getting used to high altitude. After breakfast, we make our way to the ridge point above Base Camp and further on to Advance Base Camp, to get a feel of what it would be like on Summit night. We return to Base Camp by lunch time and spend the rest of the day at leisure enjoying the sights around Base Camp.
Overnight Camp, Meals:BLD
Day 08: Rest at morning. Summit night
Another relaxed morning. We spend the day checking our gear for the summit night and practicing walking while roped up. We have an early dinner and retire to bed by 5 pm to rest a bit before waking up again by 11pm to get ready for summit. In the night after waking up, we have a high protein snack and head out all geared up for the climb. It is important to be in a positive frame of mind and take it slow on the summit night. We gradually make our way up the mountain. The entire summit attempt could take anywhere between 10-15 hrs depending on the condition of the day.
Overnight Camp, Meals:BLD
Day 09: Return to Stok BC
We should be on the summit in the early hours just after dawn. The summit is definitely a great high and the views all around are totally stunning. You can see the Zanskar range on one side, the East Karakorams on the other. We enjoy the views for a bit and start our descent carefully to Base Camp. We stop at the end of the ridge to replenish ourselves for the long descent. We should be at Base Camp for lunch. We pass off as soon as we retire into our camps from all the exhaustion. A celebratory dinner late evening for all our efforts whatever the result before we retire for the night.
Overnight Camp, Meals:BLD
Day 10: Trek to Stok Village(3500m). Drive to Leh
A long descent to Stok Village from Base Camp. We pass the campsites of Smankarmo and Changma on the way down to Stok Village. The Valley is very unique with craggy folds and multi-coloured hues. There is a high chance of noticing bharals on this stretch. We meet a lot of groups trekking up and we wish them luck before we continue on to Stok Village. Lunch on the way. Our taxis will be waiting at the road head to drive us to Leh. We bid adieu to the trekking crew and out horsemen and hop into our taxis for the 40 mins drive to Leh town. A much needed hot shower awaits at the hotel in Leh.
Dinner could be in Leh town which boasts some excellent dining options.
Trekking Time: 6-7 hrs
Overnight Hotel, Meals:BL
Day 11: Depart

Slice of Ladakh
₹50,000
Ladakh - a rugged land of high passes and mystic. A land that grows on you each time you visit. A land you can never get enough of.
“Slice of Ladakh”, as the name goes is designed specifically for travellers visiting Ladakh for the first time. Travellers who just want to test the waters before they invest more time into a substantial adventure. The adventure is designed to cover most of the highlights of the region in an active manner. We trek along the Sham Valley with its green villages and warm Homestays, bike down the highest motorable pass- Khardung La and take a day rafting trip down the Zanskar. A perfect trip to excite and engage you.
Markha Valley Trek
₹50,000
If you had to choose just one trek to do in Ladakh, it must be the Markha Valley Trek. It’s not “the most popular trek” in Ladakh without reason. Right from ease of access, remoteness of valley, wilderness experience and just the feel of trekking in Ladakh - it is all there on this trail. The long hours of walking in wind swept arid landscape with green villages suddenly appearing as a welcoming Oasis, is exactly how trekking in Markha is. Right in between the valley is the quaint Tacha Gompa perched high up on a cliff adding some mystic to this trek. What really adds to the experience is the presence of little hamlets along the way affording a high degree of interaction with the hardy natives. This is the first valley where the concept of homestays was pioneered in the 2000s and later replicated across other trekking valleys in Ladakh. The high altitude grazing grounds at Nimaling with splendid views of snowcapped Kang Yatse is yet another highlight.
The Markha Valley was connected to the mainland via a steel bridge across the Zanskar river in Feb,2016. This bridge was sadly washed off later that year from the Tsarap Chu floods. A new bridge has been proposed here and will soon see the light of day. It gives the trekkers the last few years to enjoy trekking in this fabulous valley sans vehicles! Make the most of it, when you can.
Everest Base Camp Trek
₹89,500
There are few treks in the Himalaya that can match the popularity and aura that surrounds the trek to Everest Base Camp in the Solo Khumbu Valley of Nepal. You have to walk this path and experience it to actually know why. The trail passes through the heartland of the Sherpa community of Nepal, who migrated from Tibet about 400 years ago and made Khumbu Valley their home. The trek is challenging with some long hours of walking going upto a maximum height of 5545m; yet the accommodation in Tea-houses during the trek adds a great element of comfort to the experience.
Singalila Ridge Trek
₹50,000
The Singalila Ridge Trek is one of the finest ridge walks in the Indian Himalaya affording amazing views of some big mountain ranges including Khangchendzonga and Everest. The highlight is the Khangchendzonga and surrounding mountains including Janoo and Pandim which from this distance, resembles a man sleeping and is famously referred to as “The Sleeping Buddha”.
The Singalila ridge comes off one of the ridges from Khangchendzonga in Sikkim. Sandakphu at 3636m, the highest point on this trek is a classic vantage point to view the Himalayan ranges from. Right ahead is the Khangchendzonga range, to the left is Everest range and to the right are the mountains of Bhutan. Trekkers and tourists flock to Sandakphu all year round, to get a glimpse of the magnificent Sleeping Buddha and to rejoice in its cool climes. This short getaway of 7 days is sure to leave you completely energized and feeling light.

Goechala Trek
₹50,000
Goechala Trek is your chance to visit the hallowed land of the highest mountain in India and the 3rd highest mountain in the World - Khangchendzonga(8586m) in the Kingdom of Sikkim. You will be delighted each day of the trip by the Buddhist culture of the place, its natural beauty and the warmth of the locals. The trip spans the Nepalese hinterland of East India covering Darjeeling and West Sikkim. Right from day 1, the Khangchendzonga range covers the north sky and grows in size as we inch closer and closer until Goechala, where we are just 9 kms away from its formidable North face. You will have to crane your neck to get a good sight at the summit from here.
The trip starts with 2 days at the Tea Capital of Darjeeling, the charming hill station town built by the British. We then move on to Yuksom in West Sikkim, the start point for the 8 day trek rich in flora and fauna. There is a wide variety of orchids, ferns, rhododendrons and bamboo…the thick vegetation with snow mountains peeking through the branches, the yaks and dzos ambling along with load on their backs is a common sight along the trail. During Spring, this region is home to some of the biggest and most colourful rlooming hododendrons in the Himalaya.
Rated among the finest walks in the Indian Himalaya, the trek to Goechala and back will leave you craving for more.
Parang La Trek
An ethereal walk traversing countries and geographies, from Indian desert mounds-of-sand like mountains of Spiti Valley to the vast expansive high altitude plateau, Changthang - the home of the nomadic Changpa’s in Tibet, is the Parang la trek. The trek reaches it crescendo, not just on one day – the day we cross the Parang la across the ragged mountains, but another – the day we soak in the serenity of the Tso Moriri. The trek is an endless walk along through green meadows where the Kiangs (Tibetan wild horses) run wild, through little bushes of green in the arid brown of the Spiti that are the rhododendrons, along the cobalt blue stillness of the Tso Moriri and then on to the vast expansive ill-populated wetlands of the Changthang plateau. This trek embodies the art of mindfulness – Vipaasana Meditation – One is truly mindful of their surrounding, their breath and the breathtaking visages.
The trip starts with a drive across the stunning landscapes and the lush green meadows of the Kullu valley to the arid mountain scapes of Lahaul and Spiti. To get acclimatised to the high altitude, the next couple of days is well spent understanding the ways of the monks and the people of Spiti in the millennial old, favourites of Dalai Lama -Toba and Kye/Key monasteries, soaking up some good energy and history. Taking the traditional trade route between Ladakh and Spiti, we cross Parang la (5580m), source of the Pare Chu River that flows from India to Tibet and final circles back to India to join the Spiti River. Then we descends to the almost never-ending plateau of Changthang and walk to the Tso Moriri (Lake Moriri) we get to sight some exotic migratory birds like the rare Great crested grebe, endangered Black-necked cranes, the lake is also the lone breeding home for the Bar-headed geese. Camping at the green grounds of Chumik Shilte and Kiangdam, we get to sleep under the stars and uninhabited lands of the Changthang, is a surreal experience of living, even if for few days, amongst the magnificent glacier peaks and still blue lakes. The trip ends with another scenic drive across Changthang to Leh, the main city of Ladakh, for a leisure day in Leh to relax the aching muscles after the challenging yet exciting walk.
This trek is recommended for experienced trekkers who have had some high-altitude trekking experience or maintain an active lifestyle.
- High altitude crossing from surreal Spiti into Changthang, the
Tibetan plateau
- Turquoise Tsomoriri Lake between Kiangdam and Korzok
- Wild Tibetan wild Asses and rare birds at Tsomoriri
- Witness lifestyle and interaction with Changpa Nomads of
Ladakh
- Millennium old monasteries of Spiti
- 2 splendid high altitude drives through awe-inspiring scenery
Khangchendzonga Circuit
Khangchendzonga Circuit is easily one of the finest treks the Indian Himalaya has to offer. Set in the kingdom of Sikkim, the hike takes you to touching distance of the 3rd highest mountain in the world and other snow jewels of Sikkim. Starting from as low as 1800m at Uttarey, the trek reaches its crescendo at Goechala(4940m), where the Khangchendzonga face is only 9 kms as the crow flies. It is an amphitheatre of huge mountains ranging from small peaks to 6000ers, 7000ers and the highest one in India!Some notable mountains are Janoo, Talung, Pandim, Jopuno, Narsing, Simvo and Kabru.
The first half of the trek straddles the border with Nepal passing through dense forests of rhododendron and sprawling meadows where Yaks and Dzos graze. Midway through the trek we camp beside high altitude holy lakes, before entering the Indian side of the border.
This is a demanding trek with some long days of walking where not many trekking groups venture. The route is mostly isolated all the way to Dzongri after which it joins the popular YuKsom-Dzongri Circuit where the footfall of hikers is higher. The Nepalese culture, rugged mountain route, heartwarming scenery, and the pacing of the route make this our personal favorite.
Consider this if you have a few treks under your belt, and lead a reasonably active lifestyle.
Deo Tibba Base Camp Trek
₹50,000
Deo Tibba peak at 6001m is one of the higher peaks in the Pir Panjal Range of the Indian Himalayas. Starting from Jammu and Kashmir, the Pir Panjal range extends all the way into Himachal. Mt. Deo Tibba and Indrasan mark the eastern end of this range. The Deo Tibba Valley trek takes you to the base camp of this big mountain through dense conifer forests, lush green meadows, high altitude lakes and snow-capped mountains. Starting from the beautiful hill town of Manali, we make a small circuit over 5 days starting at Shuru village and ending at Jobri, where there is a small dam. Shuru is the first and last village on the trail. Post that, the only people we get to meet on this Himalayan trail would be the Gaddi Shepherds and Gujjar cattle herders. Gaddis camp in the mountains with their huge flocks of sheep and goat throughout the Summer and Monsoons. Gujjars are few and are normally found at Tilgan and Jobri with theirs herds of buffaloes.
The trek is of moderate difficulty with a couple of tough days which includes steep ascents. Starting at 2000m, we ascend to the highest altitude of 3700m at Rourikholi, the enchanting grazing grounds for all horses of Prini and Shuru Villages in Manali. You can count about a hundred horses and mules in this sprawling meadow with views of Deo-Tibba and Indrasan on one side and Dhauladhar range on the other. Each campsite on the trail is picturesque, enhancing the joy of camping in the mountains. For first time trekkers and visitors into the Himalaya, this trek works as a classic introduction to the beauty and rigour of trekking in the Indian Himalaya.
