Stok Kangri is the highest mountain in the Stok Range of the Himalayas

Stok Kangri is the highest mountain in the Stok Range of the Himalayas in the Ladakh region of northwest India. The peak is located in Hemis National Park, 12 km southwest of the trailhead at 3,610 m in the village of Stok and around 15km of the Ladakhi capital of Leh. Stok Kangri is a popular peak and is often climbed as an initial non-technical foray into high altitude mountaineering. However, Stok Kangri is very often underestimated for its difficulty level.
In late July and August, all but the top of the peak may be snow-free which leads to some excellent new high resolution satellite imagery. The first official winter season ascent was made in March/April 2002

How to reach
By Air : Jet Airways, Go Air and Air India provide daily (once every day) flight service between New Delhi and Leh. In the summer season, the services may even be provided twice a day. However if you plan a trip to this area of the country, you must try to book your tickets well in advance. This might even cut down the prices which may be levied on booking at the last time. You would enjoy the flight as you would fly over many untouched areas and even some mountain ranges. The aerial view is just fascinating and gives a great start to your tour.

By road : The road from Manali to Leh is only open in the summers. The road trip by your personal may take you 2 days, but depending upon the weather conditions, the travel may also extend to 3 or even 4 days. There are also regular buses from Manali to Leh. Another route to Leh via Srinagar, also takes around two days. On this route, you would pass through some lonely yet famous villages like Kargil and Khalsi.
