Information on booking international flights

The expedition to Stok Kangri would be a suitable objective for someone looking to climb their first peak in the Himalayas. To aid our acclimatisation for the Stok Kangri climb we go on a trek which explores the high and arid Ladakhi landscape.

Roland Hunter led the Stok Kangri expedition in June 2006 and has modified the itinerary based on this experience. He will be happy to answer any questions you might have.
