After having breakfast, drive to Zingchen and start walking through Zingchen Gorge. There is a restaurant where one can stop for tea and snacks. As we continue trekking further, the gorge gets narrower and more rugged. On the way, one might see snow leopard signs along the valley bottom of the side valleys if you are trekking during winter or early spring/fall. As you approach Rumbak fields, the valley suddenly opens up with snow-capped mountains in the background. From the fields, the path turns left eastwards for the Rumbak village, where a Home stay is available.
After breakfast, proceed for a full day of wildlife viewing along with a trained local guide. Wildlife viewing possibilities include Blue sheep, the Great Tibetan sheep or the Argali, various mountain and migratory birds, high altitude flora, and occasionally a Tibetan Wolf or a Snow leopard if luck favors. Ask your Home- stay operator for a local guide or village resource map to show directions for possible options. Overnight in Home Stay.
Make an early start for your trek up the Stok La pass (4900mts) for 3 hours. Follow the path on the extreme left along the south-facing hillside. After one hour, the path gets steeper as you start climbing up to the pass. From the pass, you can get great views of the Indus valley. Descend all the way down to the village of Stok. Optional visit to Stok Palace museum. Drive to Leh.
