Sample itinerary for the India (Ladakh - Stok Kangri) expedition

Some possible objectives for the India Stok Kangri expedition are given below, please note these may alter between now and your expedition. The India Expedition Programme Manager  will agree a suitable expedition itinerary for you, to best match the abilities and aspirations of your team.

Acclimatisation in India
There are several short day treks out of Manali and Leh that can be done before the main trekking phase.  They can incorporate visits to places of local cultural importance such as temples and monasteries. 

Main trekking phase
The team will have a 2 day journey to reach the town of Leh deep in the India Himalaya after travelling the second highest motorable road in the world reaching an elevation of 5578m. 

Stok Kangri: This is a difficult and demanding high altitude trek. A moderate approach phase to the base of the mountain is followed by a challenging ascent of Stok Kangri (6153m).  Teams will take ice axes and crampons to tackle the glacier over which they will trek to reach the summit.

Project work in India
Teams carry out project work around Leh.  Projects are usually carried out in schools, with teams helping with maintenance work, painting murals, fixing buildings or general odd jobs with plenty of opportunity for interaction with local villagers and children.

Rest and relaxation
Depending on the progress of the trek, the last days in India can be spent seeing some of its tourist attractions.  White water rafting is possible around Leh. Few people visit India without going to see the Red Fort in Delhi and the magnificent Taj Mahal in Agra.
