Day 5 - Leh. Another vital acclimatisation day. In the afternoon we can walk to the famous Stok Gompa and make final expedition preparations.
 

Day 6 - Depart for Stok Kangri. Today we leave Leh and head for Stok Village which is our departure point for Stok Kangri. Once mountaineering permits are allocated and the ponies loaded with provisions we’ll start our walk.

Day 10 - Summit attempt. A very early start will see us heading up to the summit. We will aim to arrive at dawn, which ensures we have incredible 360 degree views of the Indian Himalayan and the Karakoram range in Pakistan. The summit triangle of K2 is clearly visible too. After lots of celebratory hugs and handshakes we’ll make our way back to base camp for some well earned sleep.
