Before the walk, you will get information on the hotel you will be staying in. On the first day of the walk, check into your accommodation. Our trek leader will meet and greet you there. There will be a briefing session where all the information you need to climb Stok Kangri will be covered. Next, you will submit the medical form, undertaking form, and photocopy of your picture ID evidence that is necessary to get the permission. The remainder of the day is yours to adjust to the altitude and take in the local attractions of Leh.

At precisely 7 a.m., we'll start our acclimatisation walk after having tea at your hotel. We will either hike to Shanti Stupa or Shey Palace to gain altitude. Drink enough of water to stay hydrated and maintain regular body processes even at high altitudes. Following the acclimatisation walk, you have the remainder of the day to explore and do any last-minute preparations for the hike. We advise you to go to Khardung La since it is located at an altitude of 17,500 feet, which will benefit your body as you ascend.

After eating breakfast at the hotel this morning, we'll start our first day of hiking. We'll also have a packed lunch to keep us going. After that, we will get in our car and drive to Stok village, where our on foot tour will start. Beginning with a moderate incline, the hike begins. On the way, we'll even pass a couple stupas. According to Buddhist beliefs, it is lucky to always enter and exit from the left side of stupas. One hour into the hike, the path splits into two. One involves climbing to the top of a pass and then descending it again, while the other involves crossing the Stok River. Depending on the village's water level, we choose which path to follow. After an in-between lunch break, we'll ultimately arrive at our campground about 3 o'clock in the afternoon. At the campground, we will be given tea and refreshments before leaving for our acclimatisation walk. You should get up and move about as we ascend in height throughout the hike. Camping in Chang Ma for the night.

We'll do a little light stretching to warm up for our day after morning tea and getting ready. Breakfast is followed by our walk. We will reach the summit of Chang Ma pass after a hard early portion of the trek. We will next descend and merge with the Stok river path. Due to the hue of the soil that dissolves in it, the river has a mixture of purple and brown tones. The riverside path splits into two as we go. One will take us to Mankormo, while the other will lead us to the Rumbak Valley. Despite the short distance of the trip today, we like to increase the altitude gradually so that our bodies can adapt to the higher altitude more easily. Today at the Mankormo campground, a cooked lunch will be provided for us. Following tea, we will go on our acclimatisation hike. Camping in Mankormo for the night.

Immediately after our morning warm-up session, we will depart from our campground. The path will follow the Stok River, and in order to continue climbing the mountain, we will often have to cross it. Due to the gradient and altitude, the last portion of the walk requires a lot of energy and is steep. During the hike, you may hear or see marmots and pikas in the region around the climb. When we get to the campground, we'll set up tent and have lunch. In the evening, we will set out for our acclimatisation hike to the flag point after tea and snacks. You can see Stok Kangri clearly and directly in front of you from there. After getting a good look at the Great Mountain, return to the campground for supper and some downtime. Stay the night in Stok Kangri Base Camp.

This day is set out for recuperation, acclimatisation, and practising the skills you'll need to use to scale the summit. We'll begin each day with some breathing exercises called pranayamas. We'll start our workout when breakfast is over. You will first get your equipment, which includes an ice axe, crampons, snow boots, and a helmet. Then we'll go on to the more challenging slopes where we'll practise skills like roping up, going up and down snow slopes, and stopping ourselves if we fall. We'll go back and have a quick lunch. Because the summit push will begin late at night and you need to give your all, try to get as much rest as you can. You will get a wake-up call for the evening at nine o'clock and be served porridge, Maggie, and coffee before departing for the mountain.

We depart the previous evening at eleven; the day of counting has already started. As we approach the dining tent, everyone is equipped and ready to go for the peak. Before leaving for the peak, the trip guide will provide his parting motivational and instructional remarks after a brief breakfast of Maggie, oatmeal, and coffee. The first portion of the route is the same as the one we used to acclimatise and ascend the steep, dusty, rocky terrain to the flag point. The real methods needed to successfully scale the mountain start to emerge at this point. We go up the path and climb a 60-degree slope until, after some cautious navigation, we arrive at the location that served as the original Advance Base camp for the summit attempt. After a little rest, we'll continue on our way to the Stok Glacier. You must leap over the little crevasses that are made of hard ice on this. As we continue on, the most challenging section of the walk begins: the 60-degree slope that we must zigzag and ascend. You will be able to complete this challenge if you maintain your energy and drive during the lengthy, difficult climbing process. We will reach the shoulder of the Stok Kangri, which will welcome us with prayer flags, after three arduous hours of ascending along the zigzag trail. From this point on, the path becomes very difficult, requiring careful route-finding on the jagged crest. It takes two hours to traverse the ridgeline as the top draws near. The top is covered with flags of prayer. On a clear day, you can see the Karakoram mountain range and, with any luck, Mt. K2. We return to Base camp by the same path. Dinner is served; afterwards, take a much-needed nap before returning to Leh.

Retracing our steps to the mountains, we return to Stok village along the same path. From there, our cars will transport us back to the city and to our hotel, where we can relax with a warm shower and a comfortable bed after a long day of strenuous hiking. Celebrate the end of the walk with your other colleagues and the trek leader in the evening. You will have many memories and lessons to reflect on.
