Stok Village
Unwind amidst fruiting orchards and their seasonal splendour
A charming town dominated by its namesake palace, Stok’s legacy is evident in the Ladakhi craftsmanship of its residential structures. Overlooking a valley of pastoral hamlets, Buddhist shrines and sparse vegetation, Stok welcomes travelers to experience its unspoilt beauty.
The Stok Palace, built by King Tsespal Tondup Namgyal in 1825, is the present-day residential palace of the royal descendants of King Sengge Namgyal. The architecture of this palace is a perfect mix of traditional and contemporary architectural styles. This palatial property consists of many beautiful gardens and a library with around 108 volumes of the Kangyur (a collection of teachings of Lord Buddha). The current heir of the Namgyal dynasty has opened his palace to guests from far and wide. Interact with royalty as you experience regal living at the Stok Palace.
