Stok Kangri Base Camp Trek - Itinerary & Route Details

  • ▼ Day 1Arrival DayLeh 3500m

    Arrive In Leh
    Overnight In: Leh (3500m )
    Accommodation: Hotel
    Meals Included: Breakfast
    Cost Of Transport Included: YES ( Leh Airport to Hotel)

    Upon arriving in Leh after a short flight from Delhi, check in to your guesthouse and take it easy for the day. Leh's air is dry and cold, and the sudden change in altitude can be overwhelming for your body. The flight takes you from sea level to 3,500 meters in just two hours, so proper acclimatization is essential.

    Tips for a smooth start:

    • Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water before boarding your flight and throughout the day.
    • Moisturize your nostrils: The dry air can make breathing uncomfortable. Keep a small container of Vaseline handy to gently apply inside your nostrils if needed.
    • Rest well: Minimize physical activity today. Your body needs time to adjust to the altitude.

    In the evening, we’ll gather for a light snack, followed by a formal team introduction. During this session, we’ll discuss trek preparation, planning, and address any questions you may have about the upcoming adventure.

    After dinner, it’s time to get a good night’s sleep. Rest is crucial to help you acclimatize and prepare for the challenges ahead.
