DAY ONE/TWO: Leh
We suggest at least two FULL days in and around Leh in order to acclimatise to the high altitude before emabarking on this trek..
DAY THREE: Leh – Stok - Mancarmo (Approximately 1 hour drive then 4 hours trek)
In the morning our private transport will collect you form Leh and transport you to Stok Village. On arrival, you will head straight for Mancarmo through a beautiful valley of unusual rock formations pointing skywards in orange, purple and green colours. Mancarmo is the summer pasture of Stok villagers and will be a great place to take photos and relax in the pastureland for overnight camp.
(Breakfast, packed lunch and home-cooked dinner included)
DAY FOUR: Mancarmo – Lower base camp (Approximately 4 hours trek)
Wake early and take a gradual trek high into a desolate area inhabited only by marmots and blue sheep. Surrounded high peaks and breathtaking views you will enjoy a short day of climbing before retiring at base camp for your overnight stay.
(Breakfast, packed lunch and home-cooked dinner included)
DAY FIVE: Lower base camp – Summit – Lower base camp (Approximately 10 hours trek)
Depending on weather and snow conditions, leave early at 1am or 2am. Today will be the hardest and most strenuous trek and in the last part you will most likely use not only ice axes, but also crampons and even ropes depending on the snow conditions. (All of which we will provide as part of your package). By the time you reach the top all the hardship will be forgotten as you are surrounded by one of the most beautiful sights in the Himalayas, where you will hopefully be lucky enough to arrive in time to witness the slowly rising morning sun. In good weather conditions the Saser mountain group in the Great Karakoram range as well as K2 can be seen. After many photos and a well deserved break, take the descending walk back to base camp for your overnight stay.
(Breakfast, packed lunch and home-cooked dinner included)
DAY SIX: Lower base camp – Stok - Leh (Approximately 4 hours trek and half hour drive)
Take the return trek back to Stok where you will be met by our driver and private vehicle who will escort you back to Leh.
(Breakfast included)

Today is kept as a free day for any chance of extra days required for any of the treks. If all treks are completed on time, we can arrange any optional last minute sightseeing as per your request, or you can use the time to complete other adventurous activities including rafting, mountain biking etc.
