The climb is well worth it and from the top we have breathtaking views of the snowy peaks of both the Zanskar and Stok ranges. The descent is long and winds down the valley \u2013 look out for the charming Himalayan marmots and Bharal (Blue Sheep), which roam the area. The trail brings us past a tea shop and further down past the one house village of Yurutse. We continue on down to Rumbak, one of the largest villages in the area. The houses are typical whitewashed mud brick houses with colorful prayer flags fluttering from the roof. Rumbak is home to many varieties of birds and foxes and the Snow Leopards have been spotted in the area. There will be a chance to visit a local house and sample the traditional Ladakhi butter tea. Our camp is just beyond the village at the base of our next pass.<\/p><\/div><\/div><div class=\"contanier-text-box \"><h5>Day 09: Cross the Stok La (4,900 m) to Kichapulu (4,270 m) .<\/h5><div class=\"contanier-text-box-lt\"><a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20210304133636\/https:\/\/www.gojourneys.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/stok-kangri4.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-643\" src=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20210304133636im_\/https:\/\/www.gojourneys.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/stok-kangri4-300x225.jpg\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20210304133636im_\/https:\/\/www.gojourneys.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/stok-kangri4-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20210304133636im_\/https:\/\/www.gojourneys.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/stok-kangri4-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20210304133636im_\/https:\/\/www.gojourneys.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/stok-kangri4.jpg 700w\" alt=\"stok-kangri4\" \/><\/a><\/div><div class=\"contanier-text-box-rt\"><p>From Rumbak we begin our ascent to the second high pass on the trip, Stok La pass (4800m), The scenery is magnificent with fold upon fold of reddish, rugged cliffs \u2013 home to the elusive snow leopard.

There is usually quite busy with mountaineers from around the world and a mood that is seething with anticipation. The afternoon is set aside for preparations for our climb. There will be an equipment check and the leader and climbing guides will demonstrate the use of ropes, crampons and ice axe. We will be in bed before 8pm tonight ready for tomorrow\u2019s early wake up.<\/p><\/div><\/div><div class=\"contanier-text-box \"><h5>Day 12: Stok Kangri (6150m) .<\/h5><div class=\"contanier-text-box-lt\"><a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20210304133636\/https:\/\/www.gojourneys.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/stok-kangri2.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-641\" src=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20210304133636im_\/https:\/\/www.gojourneys.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/stok-kangri2-300x225.jpg\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20210304133636im_\/https:\/\/www.gojourneys.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/stok-kangri2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20210304133636im_\/https:\/\/www.gojourneys.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/stok-kangri2-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20210304133636im_\/https:\/\/www.gojourneys.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/stok-kangri2.jpg 700w\" alt=\"stok-kangri2\" \/><\/a><\/div><div class=\"contanier-text-box-rt\"><p>We will be woken around midnight and after a cup of hot tea and a bite to eat, we set off in the dark. The route starts with a nasty steep climb out of Base Camp for an hour. The gradient then eases off as we continues along the side of the valley onto the rocky moraine. 2 to 3 hours brings us to the glacier, which we cross to the foot of the climb. From here the gradient increases and we have a very steep climb up for about 2 hours onto the ridge. The light slowly begins to emerge as we climb and we can sense the mountains around us. Far below us see now the great glacier, which we crossed in the early morning hours. About an hour and a half before the summit we reach the ridge, and here the terrain becomes more demanding \u2013 we need to take care as the rock is loose and there is usually snow around. The ridge takes us all the way to the summit, marked with colourful prayer flags. The ascent of Stok Kangri is exciting, challenging and long \u2013 but the reward is waiting at the top from where the views are worth every single step. In the far distance we can see Leh in miniature and all around us are towering Himalayan snow-capped peaks.<\/p><p>The Ladakh and Zanskar ranges disappear beyond the horizon to the south and to the north we can clearly see the Karakorums. We spend a little time here to relish the beauty and regain our breath before descending slowly and carefully back to Base Camp, where our chef will be waiting for us with a warm meal. From Base Camp to the summit of Stok Kangri takes about 7-8 hours, and then it takes about 5-6 hours to descend back to Base Camp.<\/p><\/div><\/div><div class=\"contanier-text-box \"><h5>Day 13: Trek from Base Camp to Stok and drive back to Leh .<\/h5><div class=\"contanier-text-box-lt\">\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20210304133636\/https:\/\/www.gojourneys.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/stok-kangri3.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-642\" src=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20210304133636im_\/https:\/\/www.gojourneys.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/stok-kangri3-300x225.jpg\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20210304133636im_\/https:\/\/www.gojourneys.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/stok-kangri3-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20210304133636im_\/https:\/\/www.gojourneys.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/stok-kangri3-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20210304133636im_\/https:\/\/www.gojourneys.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/stok-kangri3.jpg 700w\" alt=\"stok-kangri3\" \/><\/a><\/div><div class=\"contanier-text-box-rt\"><p>After breakfast, we head down towards Stok 3600m.
