Stok Kangri Located in Ladakh, Jammu, and Kashmir. It is one of the most toughest & dauntless Trekkings in India. a known summit in the Indian Himalayas. At 20,500 feet Stok Kangri is the also the highest trekable summit in India (6,153 m) No doubt it is the most beautiful and amazing place to go but in reality, only a few people are able to complete the whole trekking while many returns back without completing it. you are going to do two very high altitude treks back to back. This requires a high order of physical fitness, for which preparation needs to start a couple of months in advance. The reason behind its difficulty is its Height, which is almost 70% of the Mount Everest. Many Explorers suggest completing the journey in Five Days to reduce the cost. But this might be dangerous as your body needs proper acclimatization. The traveler season in Ladakh is short, enduring just from June to September before the streets get hindered by snow, making go around the locale practically unimaginable. However, amid these four months, it turns into an explorer's heaven, with guest numbers blasting as of late following a quieting of many years of political agitation amongst India and Pakistan, which has long kept remote explorers far from the challenged Jammu and Kashmir state.

I want to join manali to Leh cycling camp. So please provide me quotation for 10 days. I am only one person.
Me and my sons 19 and 17 years, were desperate to do a cycling tour in India after our Nepal tour with Explore Himalaya.I was nervous doing this kind of trip in India. However, our guide Akshay had planned out the safest tour and he was very safety conscious. It was an enjoyable 8-day trip and though there were some nerve-wracking road rides, most of the trip was awesome with few to no traffic. Would definitely recommend Explore Himalaya to other travelers.
It was more beautiful than I had imagined it. Valley of flowers is simply a delight to the senses. I came to know about this trek through my friend circle. We got in touch with explorehimalaya.org and they arranged the whole trek for us in a jiffy. Uttrakhand is a home to most beautiful mountain peaks and I'm glad I have discovered the cream of it all. Kudos to the team and the support staff.
