http://www.TravelsWithSheila.com Stok Kangri is both a difficult trek with long hours of hiking and high altitude and also can be a goal for mountaineers who then climb over the glacier to the top - 6,170 Meters, 20,242 Feet! Seriously high altitude. Steve and I, along with new guide Nubu, went for a leisure two-hour hike up the trail and then back down again just to see and learn about the Stok Kangri Trek; way, way beyond our physical ability. This video is for those who would like to learn a little more about what is required and also for those who like to live vicariously and say to themself, "What...are these people crazy?" Umm, yes!
