Trek Overview

If you really have a short time and want to get into the mountains you can do this trek. Its possible to do in 2 days one night spending the night at a homestay in Rumbak. The trek passes over the Stok La (4800 m), actually the view from the false pass (closer to Stok) is better than from the true top. If you make it to Stok by 6:00 pm you can catch a bus back to Leh.

Do It Yourself Information

If you want to see some mountains and have very little time this is a trek that will do it.  Rumbak is a nice village but basically its a trek for those with no time.  It is high though so don't try it your first or second day in Leh.  Its worth getting transport to Zingchen to avoid the long hot boring walk from Spituk
