Mentok Kangri (6250 m.)

Mentok Kangri Peak, named after the Ladakhi word for 'flower', is located on the south side of Korzok near Tsomoriri Lake. This fascinating peak is one of the most sought-after destinations in Ladakh. The high and arid landscape of Mentok Kangri has captured the imagination of travellers since its opening.

The climb to all three summits, Mentok 1, 2, and 3, is a moderate one, making it perfect for beginners. The trek to the top is a basic snow/ice climb, and the best time to embark on this adventure is from June to September.

To fully experience the beauty of Mentok Kangri, we recommend taking the 5-day/4-night route. With a minimum of 5 people, this journey is perfect for groups looking for a unique adventure. During your trek, you will witness stunning panoramic views of the Himalayas and the beautiful landscape that surrounds Mentok Kangri.
