Ladakh is the northern region of India also known as "little Indian Tibet" located in the state of Jannu and Kashmir near the Chinese and Pakistani borders and surrounded by the Himalayan mountains. The capital is Leh famous for the Royal Palace which, although less impressive, resembles the Lhasa potala and often houses the Delai Lama. Leh also has the highest civil airport in the world 3,500 meters. Unlike neighboring Kashmir where terrorist attacks frequently take place, Buddhists and Muslims coexist peacefully in Ladakh. The atmosphere and the environment of these places strike travelers who are fascinated by the monasteries that gradually meet during the trek. In the Tiksey monastery there is still a school where many children are initiated into monastic life. The trek winds through valleys and hills that reach the maximum altitude of 4,700 meters. to reach the summit of Stok Kangri 6.120 mt. For trekkers with experience in the use of crampons and ice axes, it is possible to reach the top of this mountain which does not present particular technical difficulties. Stok Kangri is part of the Zanskar mountain range, the south ridge offers a spectacular view of the Karakoram range and on clear days it is often possible to see K2. As there are no suitable structures, the trekk is completely in tents with bearers with horses, mules and everything you need in tow. An extraordinary journey into oriental culture with breathtaking views, a still little visited destination in an evocative, even spiritual path.
