The 6,000m classroom for Himalayan mountaineers
The Adventure
Stok Kangri is one of the most accessible 6,000m peaks in the world — and one of the best introductory mountaineering expeditions in India. The summit ridge is a narrow blade of ice and rock with a 360° view of the entire Ladakh range. On a clear summit day, you can see K2.
What Makes It Special
The jump from 5,000m trekking to 6,000m climbing is immense. This mountain teaches you what your body can do when it has no other option.
Is This For You?
Trekkers who want their first high-altitude climb. Basic mountaineering course recommended but not mandatory.
Those without altitude exposure, weak lungs, or heart conditions. This is serious mountaineering.
Safety & Prep
Acclimatise in Leh for minimum 3 days. Carry crampons, ice axe, helmet. Go with a certified mountaineering guide — the summit ridge crevasses are real.
