Mountaineering Mentok Kangri Trek (6227 Mtrs) at Leh

Mentok Peak, located on a ridge south of Korzok village by Tso Moriri Lake, is renowned for its stunning wildflower bloom in July and August. The name "Mentok" means "flower" in Tibetan and Ladakhi, reflecting the vibrant green valley during this period. Historically, it has also been referred to as Mata Peak on some old maps

After an early breakfast, a jeep will take you to Korzok, 210 km from Leh, the area's headquarters. Located on the lake's bank, Korzok village is overlooked by the impressive Korzok Monastery. Arrive in the afternoon and stay overnight at Tsomoriri (4450m)

The day trek starts early in the morning along the trail that first enters into the Korzok Phu Valley, then starts ascending the slope among some of the herbal flowers whose color and fragrance fill the valley. Then as Tour Operators In Leh Ladakh go around toward the back of the peak, some rocky path makes it difficult for the horses. The base camp of the peak is quite windy and the camping area is rocky too

The trek starts at around 02:00 am after breakfast and then ascends towards Mentok Kangri. To climb up along that scary slope of the adjacent peak, probably above 6250 meters is technical and quite tough. But be sure that you should summit the peaks before sunrise. When you are at the top of the much-anticipated peak, it offers a spectacular view of Mt Kharlung and on the other side, Mt Chamser and Mt Lungser with all those beautiful meadowy valleys and the blue lake all lying beneath. After enjoying the view, slowly and steadily get down towards base camp before it’s getting too late

The day is a rest to explore around the Lake and the village. Tsomoriri Lake is famous for its clear blue lake with the nomadic families settled around the lake. The local people consider the lake sacred. This lake is the breeding ground for numerous species of birds like the headed Goose, Great Crested Grebe, the Brahmin duck, etc. Then visit the Korzok monastery before you leave this memorable trek.

Early in the morning, the jeep will pick you up and drive on to Polokkonka Pass (13500 ft) and visit Tsokar (a small Lake). The place is famous for wild Asses and the nomadic settlements. From there, a short drive brings you to the national highway route (Leh-Manali). Continue driving towards Leh via Taklang Pass (5350 mts, the second-highest motorable pass in the world. Arrive in Leh in the evening.
