The Spituk Trek is a popular trekking route in Ladakh, India. It is a relatively short trek that can be completed in a day, making it accessible to a wide range of trekkers, including beginners. The trek typically begins from Spituk Village, which is located about 8 kilometers from the main town of Leh. One of the main highlights of this trek is the stunning view of Stok Kangri, which is one of the highest peaks in the Stok Range. Trekkers get to experience the dramatic landscapes of Ladakh, including barren mountains, rugged terrain, and beautiful vistas.
