• Stok Palace & Museum: Built in 1820, this living palace serves as the summer home for the Ladakhi royals.
  • Stok Monastery (Stok Gompa): Located just a short walk or quick drive from the palace, this serene Gelugpa sect monastery houses a massive 71-foot-tall statue of Gautama Buddha, a huge library containing the Kangyur (teachings of Buddha), and offers panoramic views of the Indus Valley.
  • Stok Kangri Base: While the famous Stok Kangri peak has been officially closed to protect the glacier, the area remains a breathtaking visual backdrop and the starting point for multiple high-altitude day hikes and nature trails.
