A Guide to Independent Trekking in the Himalayas: Ladakh. Peaks There are many high (6000 m +) easy to climb peaks throughout Ladakh, especially in the Rupshu. The ones listed below are just the ones that I've climbed. Ladakh is definitely the easiest cheapest place in the world to climb above 6000 m, climbing a 6000 m trekking peak in Nepal will set you back at least $300. Stok Kangri: This is the most climbed 6000 m peak in Ladakh at 6153 m (20,180 ft). The view from the top, weather permitting of course, is spectacular. While all the trekking agencies do this as a four day trek if you are already acclimatized it can be done easily in 2 days one night from Leh.

I would highly recommend doing an acclimatization trek before then doing Stok Kangri. Chhamser Kangri: At 6622 m (21,725 ft) Chhamser Kangri is the third highest peak in Ladakh (excluding Zanskar and the Karakorum) and a remarkably easy climb. Peak 6098 m Northwest Tso Moriri: This peak is marked at 6098 m (20,000 ft) on the Leomann Indian Himalaya Map sheet 9. Munsyari, Uttarakhand, India to Unknown road.

In 1931 Smythe, along with Eric Shipton and R.L.

Holdsworth, was returning from their successful expedition to Kamet Peak and it was quite by chance that they stumbled into this valley. The Valley of Flowers, perched at 3658 -3962 m, is internationally important on account of its diverse alpine flora, representative of the West Himalayan biogeographic zone. Spread over an area of 87.5 sq km, the Valley of Flowers National Park is at an altitude of 3,250 m to 6,750 m.

It is rich in Himalayan flora and fauna and the habitat of several endangered mammals, like the snow leopard, Himalayan musk deer and bharal. The region also offers breathtaking sceneries, wooded environment and richness of biosphere because of which UNESCO has declared the Nanda Devi Biosphere a World Heritage Site. The entire Nanda Devi Biosphere Reserve lies within the Western Himalayas Endemic Bird Area (EBA) with seven species endemic to the area. Owing to the fragile eco-system trekking through the park is not permitted.
