Skiu - Ganda La Base 4500 m (5-6 hours)
From Skiu it’s an extended walk to our next camp, but vital one in terms of acclimatization, as we'll camp very high tonight and cross the high pass subsequent day. So, we'll not hurry and take our time to succeed in the camp at the bottom of Ganda La. Overnight at Ganda La base.

Views of the lofty Zanskar Range and therefore the distant Himalaya Range are great also . After a brief rest, we'll make a gradual descent to base of expire other side for an opportunity for lunch.
We will finish the day by hiking for 3-hours through a pleasant land scape before reaching camp at Rumbak (4000m). Overnight occupy Rumbak.
Rumbak to Mankarmo 4200 m via Stok La (5 –6 hrs)
The trail up to the bottom of Stok La 4900 m starts fairly gradual but becomes steeper as we approach the pass.

Base Camp – Summit – Base Camp
Depending on weather and snow conditions, we leave within the middle of night, around 1:00 am. Usually the sky is more clear and therefore the snow harder and easier to steer upon in night/morning when it's colder.
It is a strenuous walk, and within the last part we'll presumably use ice axes, crampons and perhaps a rope, counting on the snow conditions. However by the time we compared to the highest , which usually takes 7-8 hrs, you'll ditch the hardship as you'll be surrounded by one among the foremost beautiful sights within the Himalayas. In clear weather the Saser group within the Great Karakoram , where K2 lies, are often seen. To bring luck , we leave a Khatag – a spiritual scarf on the height , which is roofed in prayer flags. Leaving the height , we go right down to Base Camp in about 3-4 hrs.
