Stok Kangri- with The Markha Valley Trek
Flying into the Ladakhi capital of Leh, the shapely peak of Stok Kangri
(20075ft.) is prominent on the southern skyline. Spending several days
acclimatizing, we visit the colorful monasteries at Shey, Thikse and Hemis
before setting off on the lovely trek through theMarkha Valley. Our route leads
by way of several remote and picturesque villages to the high Nimaling Plain
below the imposing peak of Kang Yatze. Crossing the Kongmaru La, we then follow
an unusual high route to Stok Kangri Base Camp, a 3-day approach to the
mountain, which includes superbly located campsites and far-reaching views
towards Tibet and the eastern Karakoram. Although objectively very safe and
technically straightforward (involving low-angle scree and easy snow slopes),
the climb on Stok Kangri is both challenging and interesting. This is a
wonderfully varied trip, perfectly suited to someone seeking his or her first
Himalayan summit.
Day 1. Arrive Delhi
Arrive Delhi late evening and transfer to the hotel.
Day 2. Delhi - Leh (3500 m)
An early morning transfer to the domestic terminal of the airport for the flight
up to Leh. This surely is one of the most sensational scheduled flights in the
world, taking you right over the top of the Greater Himalaya before dropping
down in a series of steep turns, to land at the small airport at Leh. Flight
time approx. 1½ hours. You will be met on arrival and driven through Leh to
check into the Hotel. Leh is at an altitude of 11,500ft/3,500m and therefore we
recommend that the rest of the day be spent resting to help adjust to the
altitude.
Day 3:AT LEISURE IN LEH
. Again take it easy today and enjoy a tour around town. Leh is very Tibetan;
the national dress, 'stove-pipe' hats and felt boots with turned-up toes are
much in evidence. The Royal Palace, which dominates the town, is very
reminiscent of the Potala in Lhasa and Tibetan Buddhist monasteries, large
chortens, prayer flags and mud brick houses with flat roofs are a dramatic
culture change from the hot, teeming frenetic rush of Delhi. Don't try to do too
much on this first day! Visit the palace,
