Stok Kangri  at 6,153 metres (20,187 ft) above sea level is the highest mountain in the Stok Range of the Himalayas in the Ladakh region of northwest India. The peak is located in Hemis National Park, 12 km southwest of the trailhead at 3,610 metres (11,844 ft) in the village of Stok and around 15  km southwest of the Ladakhi capital of Leh.

Named after Stok village, Stok Kangri summit is the highest trekable peak in Indian Himalayas which makes it open to even trekkers with less trekking or mountaineering experience. Summit provides amazing views of Ladakh and Zanskar ranges along with Saser & K2 Peaks in Karakoram range.

Even though Stok is a trekable peak but final 1000 mts ascent to the summit is quiet tricky and would need high levels of both mental & physical fitness.Proper acclimatization before & after the trek and adequate physical training before the trek can be the crucial factors for successful climb.
