Spend the morning experiencing the quintessential heritage walk in the village of Stok - Ladakh’s Royal family’s summer home village. The picturesque, quaint village of Stok is nestled at the base of the mighty Stok range with the Stok Kangri peak (6150 m). The valley, home to the Stok Chu river, is a very green and fertile area.
Stok village brings alive a way of life that has not seen much change over centuries. Stroll through white-washed Chortens and mud-brick homes strewn across barley fields, adorned by fluttering prayer flags wielded in the wind, carrying good-will and peace to all sentient beings.
