Work took to me to the stunning landscapes of Ladakh recently, & I utilised the opportunity to visit the picturesque Stok village. Situated in the valley of the Singey Sangpo (Indus) river, Stok is the home of the 19th century summer palace of the king of Ladakh. It is also the starting point of the trek to the Stok Kangri peak, which is a popular trek for relatively inexperienced trekkers, despite its 6153m height. Thanks to the hospitality and guidance of Naropa Fellow Yutung Stanzin, I was able to get some pretty decent shots of the area, topped off with a delicious traditional Ladakhi breakfast in his house.
