Mentok Kangri
A snow peak of about 6,250 m on the western shore of Tso Moriri, and a popular entry-level six-thousander for climbing and trekking in Ladakh.
Mentok Kangri has three main summits, the highest at roughly 6,250 m. Its base camp lies in a valley west of Korzok and can be reached on foot in about half a day from the village. In summer, guide companies run 3–4 day summit trips that offer views over the whole of Tso Moriri. It is considered a comparatively accessible six-thousander, but crampons and other basic gear are essential, along with thorough altitude acclimatization. Trekkers who don't want to climb can walk to base camp or a nearby ridge for lake views. A licensed guide must be hired in Leh or Korzok.
