JAMMU, July 6: Tawi Trekkers, the premier trekking organization of J&K is going to organize a mountaineering expedition to Stok Kangri peak in Ladakh Himalaya during July- August, 2012.
Situated south bank of river Indus near leh, the 20186 ft high peak has been declared a trekking peak by Indian Mountaineering Foundation, New Delhi as not much technical expertise in mountaineering is required to climb it.

Tawi Trekkers J&K has planned to send a 10 member team including girls to unfurl the National Flag on the peak in the first week of August. The expedition is likely to be led by a top woman climber of J&K Ms. Tsering Ladol, the only J&K girl who has scaled Mount EVEREST.
Persons desirous of participating in the prestigious expedition who are physically fit and have suitable trekking experience may contact the office of Tawi Trekkers J&K at 75-76, Sarwal Colony, Jammu or contact Sonam Sidharth on Mob. No: 9596862186 on or before 14th July, 2012.
