Climbing In Ladakh
We have a plethora of climbing possibilities in Ladakh, but the most well-known are Stok Kangri, Kang Yatse, Mentok Kangri, Chamsher, and Lungser Kangri. Ladakh is wedged between two of the world's most powerful mountain ranges, the Himalayan south and the Karakoram in the north. Most of these summits don't call for advanced mountaineering abilities. For these climbs, you must be a skilled trekker and thoroughly acclimatized. Several of the peaks provide a genuine potential to ascend a mountain higher than 6000 meters in less than a week, which is unheard of in any other region of the world.
Stok Kangri is one of the most beautiful peaks in Ladakh. The climb is technically not difficult and requires no special mountaineering skills. It gives you a real opportunity to climb a 6150m mountain in less than a week, which is not possible in any other part of the world. The summit presents one of the most spectacular views of the Saser peak in the Karakoram Range, where the K2 lies.

Od-de led to the establishment of a monastic community at this place. A three-chapel monastery, Spituk is located at a distance of approximately 8 km from the town of Leh. The name "Spituk", meaning exemplary, has been derived from a statement of a translator, Rinchen Zangpo, about the monastery.

The festival takes place from the 27th to 29th day in the eleventh month of the Tibetan calendar. A sacred dance also forms a part of the celebrations.
