A proper mountain for a 2-3 days hike from Stok. You should have some mountaineering experience if you do this peak. Since the peak is officially closed (for commercial tours), there are no camps along the way and you will have to bring your own tent and food. In case anyone asks, just say you are heading to Stok La.
Stok Kangri is the highest mountain in the Stok Range of the Zanskar Mountains, a Trans-Himalayan mountain range in the Ladakh region of north India. The peak is located in Hemis National Park, 12 km southwest of the trailhead at the village of Stok and around 15 km southwest of the city of Leh, the capital of Ladakh.

12.5 km (one-way), 1,200 m altitude gain—it's the pass that leads to Markha Valley. You might be able to do it in one day from Stok if you are fit, otherwise you might have to camp along the way. Note, people say that this is proper mountaineering and you will need some experience.
This is an easy full day hike of 12 km (loop) going from 3,500–3,950 m just west of Stok.
Monastery in the Karma Kagyu tradition. Not much to see here, unless you are interested in Buddhism, but it is opposite the street of one of the Dalai Lama residencies.
A supposed optical illusion, where it seems cars rolling down the hill but actually go up. It might not be as impressive as hyped.
This is easy to find, as the water of Zanskar is brown, whilst that of the Indus is a little pink.
This Gurudwara houses a rock with the imprint of a Sikh that supposedly prayed here and was supposed to be crushed by the rock, but miraculously survived.
