Hiking to Stok Kangri basecamp

Jon and I went out on a two-day "warm-up" trek to Stok Kangri basecamp. The trail to Stok Kangri is one of the heaviest used in Ladakh since the peak is one of the easiest-accessed 6,000-meter peaks in the area.

We left mid-afternoon from the town of Stok and spent the night in a shepherd's hut. The next day we continued up to the basecamp, hiked a little higher on the climbing route, then headed back to Stok to catch our ride to Leh. Incredible scenery and a really fun outing all the way around.
