Most tourists go to the valley of the river Stok for only one reason – to try to climb the six thousand peaks of Stok Kangri. You can also go on a two-day trip here, exploring the side valley and climbing the Stok La saddle. You will enjoy beautiful views, colorful rocks and the rugged landscape of Ladakh
