Seasoned climbers can look for thrills at 7000 meters up in the Ladakh mountains. The Nun-Kun massif in the Great Himalayan range is possibly the most popular, and requires advance booking. It has six known peaks accessible from the Suru valley. Nearer to Leh is the Stok-Kangri massif in the Zanskar range with over six known peaks.
The climbing season extends from mid-May to mid-October. Climbing expeditions require permission from the Indian Mountaineering Federation. Authorized expeditions are provided rescue coverage.
