Day 1. Delhi: Arrive at international airport, assistance on arrival and transfer to the domestic airport for flight to Leh, the capital of Ladakh.

Day 2. Fly to Leh: the capital of Ladakh. Early morning flight to Leh, the capital city of Ladakh. The flight takes us over the Greater Himalaya and makes an exciting landing at one of the highest airports in the world. We can hope to get excellent views of Stok Kangri as we fly-in and, on a clear day, the great peaks of the Karakoram are visible to the north. We are met at the airport and taken to the hotel. The rest of the day is at leisure. Leh is at an altitude of nearly 11,OOO ft, and you can expect to feel the effects of the rarefied atmosphere. For the first few hours, you may be a little breathless and perhaps have a slight headache. These symptoms of altitude sickness are mild and usually disappear quite quickly, however, everyone is advised to take it easy for the first day or two. Press-ups and hill sprints are definitely taboo!

Day 3. Exploring the city of Leh: Today is yours to relax and stroll around Leh, to allow the effects of the altitude to wear off. This is an important period, which allows the body to acclimatise, in preparation for the initial trek. There are plenty of distractions in Leh, varying from scenic and cultural to gastronomic.

Day 4. Drive to Lamayuru: The drive to Lamayuru is an experience in itself and takes 4 hours. The road follows the. Indus for some time and then climbs ever upwards through a series of spectacular bends before dropping down into the small village of Lamayuru.
Trek to Wanla. Leaving the village, we pick our way through the fertile fields that surround Lamayuru and leave the valley by some Chortens into a dry gorge, which has beauty of its own. We follow the gorge to the top of the Prinkiti La (3, 725m). 1t is a fairly short, steep ascent to the summit of the La (pass), but is easily accomplished if you maintain a steady pace. The path then gradually descends into a narrow gorge until Mani Wall and Chortens mark your arrival in the Wanla Valley. The ochre monastery in Wanla can be glimpsed through the trees. From this point, we follow the valley to the campsite (3 hrs).

Day 5. Trek up the Ripchar Valley: We leave Wanla and follow a broad trail that runs along the side of the valley until we reach the village of Phenji. From here, we turn up the Ripchar Valley and follow the path that contours the irrigation ditches. We pass by many villagers working in the fields and scattered houses, all the time gradually climbing higher. After the walk through the warm morning sun, lunch is taken in the shade of the trees that grow along the valley. After lunch, we continue to climb until we reach the village of Hinju. The campsite is some distance beyond. Hinju in very pleasant meadows. Total walking approximately 6 hours, altitude 3,800m/12,000 ft.

Day 6. Cross Konse La: We leave early and follow an easy path until we are at the foot of the Konse La (height just under 4,950m/16,000 ft). The walking at this point gets more strenuous, but all of the effort is soon forgotten once the top is reached. From this vantage point, the views are amazing. The descent is as swift as it is steep but as it ease: we pass a number of shepherds' huts. The campsite reached after about one hour's decent from the pass. Tot walking about 5 hours, altitude of the campsite approximately 4,l00 m /13,500 ft.

Day 7. Trek to the village of Sumdochenmo: From the campsite, the trail descends gradually, criss-crossing a pleasant stream. After some time, we follow a path adjacent to a water channel until the village of Sumdochenmo is reached. After the village, the path contours high above the valley bottom until it drops to a junction of several valleys. Until this point, we have been descending gradually. In front of us is a climb separating us from our campsite. At a steady pace, the high point can be reached in about an hour before a gradual descent leads to a dusty but pleasant campsite with spectacular views. Approximately 4 hours of walking, altitude of campsite about 3,900 m / 13,000ft.

Day 8. First views of Stok Kangri from Dungduchenia: We leave our camp and pass some herdsmans' huts on our way to the top of a pass. The path is obvious and offers delightful views of the mountains. We reach the top within two hours. The Dungduchenia is at an altitude of about 4,450m/15,000 ft and from here, if the weather permits, there are excellent views of Stok Kangri. The campsite at Chilling (3,l00 m / 10,200ft.) makes up for the hard 5 hr walk.

Day 9. Return drive along the banks of the Indus to Leh: We make a leisurely start to the day, first week's after completing the initial part of the expedition. The trek will have taken us through spectacular country, improving our fitness and acclimatizing us, to the altitude and to the culture of the people of Ladakh. After packing up the camp, we embark by road for the return drive along the banks of the Indus to Leh. We settle back in to our hotel for the evening.

Day 10. Rest and exploration in and around Leh: O/n Hotel.

Day 11. Begin trek up Matho River Valley to Stok Kangri: Leaving early in the morning, we drive up the Indus Valley to Matho (2 hours), which is the start of our approach to Stok Kangri. Returning once again to the barren mountain wilderness, we trek up the Matho River Valley and set up camp after several hours' walk, at a place called Matho Phul (4,480m/I4,700ft). After our rest in Leh and full acclimatisation, everyone should be fit and in good shape for the trek to base camp and climb to the summit.

Day 12. Trek to Stok Kangri base camp: From Matho Phul, we continue up the valley making a steep climb over a pass from which we get more super views of Stok Kangri. Also visible below is base camp, the whole route from base camp to the summit can also be pointed out. From here, a steady descent leads to our base camp and home for the next two nights (altitude approx. 5,000m/16,000ft) .

Day 13. A rest day and time for final preparation: The expedition leader checks the route, you may wish to join him or take short walks around, rest; and prepare yourself for the big day ahead camp.

Day 14. Summit day : Our summit day begins before dawn, to give us ample time for the climb. The nature of the climb from base camp depends on the snow cover. It is most likely that we do not need our crampons for the most part as we scramble over scree and boulders, which lead up to the south ridge. The 1,500 ft ridge that stretches up to the summit is exciting and superbly exposed, however it is not particularly steep and is actually very straight forward. Most of the ridge is like a steep path, so ropes are not usually necessary, although some scrambling is required. Nevertheless at an altitude (approaching 20,000 ft.) it is extremely tiring and anybody who needs a rope will be able to use one. The summit is a superb reward for your effort and gives magnificent views in every direction. The city of Leh is so small that you can barely see it. We return all the way back to base camp.

Day 15. Trek to Stok from base camp: From base camp we trek directly down the valley towards the village of Stok. This is a delightful long walk, passing several homesteads and numerous ruins of old fortresses. We reach Stok after about 6n hours walking, from where transport meets us and take us back to the Hotel in Leh.

Day 16. Fly from Leh to Delhi to Agra: After another spectacular flight, we return to Delhi and drive about 4 hrs to Agra. Overnight in Hotel.

Day 17. Agra Sightseeing, drive back to Delhi: Early morning sunrise visit to Shahjan's Taj Mahal build for his beloved queen Mumtaz, set within the paradise gardens. Return to hotel for breakfast. After visit to the grand Red Fort, continue driving back to Delhi. Arrive Delhi where we have rooms available just for wash and change until 1800hrs. After dinner transfer to the airport for your return flight.

Day 18. Departure: early morning fly back.
