STOK VILLAGE LADAKH | Can This Be An Alternate To Crowded Leh
ฝัง

- Stok, a quaint village some 15 kilometers from Leh, provides the needed antidote to the wild pace of the Leh city. Perched on top of a hill and overlooking the village, Stok Palace holds some of the most precious truths of the Ladakh history and heritage. It’s still a living palace and serves as the current residence of the former royal family of Ladakh. A part of the palace has been converted into a heritage hotel, and the rest has been turned into a museum that showcases the artefacts of the dynasty After the Ladakh kingdom was annexed by the Dogra rulers of Kashmir, the Namgyals moved to Stok, and Stok palace became their main palace.
The Stok village can be best enjoyed through a nice stroll across the village, without following any standard itinerary. The gompas on the roads guide one’s way as one reaches the other end where the giant statue of Lord Padmasambhava stands. From there one can see the foot of the Stok Kangri mountain peak, which is also the base of the famed Stok Kangri trek, and the start of the Karakoram mountain range. The village itself, an intriguing network of grey stone walls, is situated at the snow-clad foothills of the mighty mountains in Ladakh.
Right in the center of the Stok Village lies KaYa Cafe & Guesthouse. Run by Hashim and Pooja, this place can be a great alternative to Leh to get acclimatized in Ladakh. The guesthouse is teamed with a vegan friendly cafe and an expansive organic vegetable garden. With a view of the majestic Stok Kangri peak, this minimalist yet comfortable homestay is inspired by the traditional Ladakhi elements and can be an ideal base to slow down, take it easy and soak in the stunning landscape

Another mesmerising storytelling!! The name KAYA is made (written) with the RAW plant branches. Kya hai yeh yaar... ❤
I loved the cafe and it shows how pure and authentic intention can give a shape to something beyond we think. A cafe was not about food but experience
Lost in the landscape in the first few seconds itself 🥰😍
Morning walk + tea, exploring a palace during the day, learning to make a vegan dish and ending day with a small picnic by the river - Abhishek you do know how to squeeze contentment from the simplest moments of life. And this is what I love about untravel. I couldn't see the last few episodes, which means binge watching today 😍
It is amazing how you are able to find such undiscovered locations with individuals who have untold stories that just make us glued to the TV screen, waiting for the next episode. Undiscovered, Untold, Untravel - is that serendipity??
Is Stok really an undiscovered location?? I mean really 😃?
@@travel_genie79 It's not an undiscovered location for sure. However, it's less touristy in comparison to other destinations in Ladakh like Nubra, Turtuk , etc etc
This episode made me feel peaceful as if I am the one untravelling. Food for thought- serendipity.
Have been to Stok village..it's a beautiful, place..
00:23 what a mesmerizing illusion, wherein the mountain behind seems to be going far and front side land feels getting closer 😍
Hi Team The Untravel Show, hope you're terrific ❤️
what amazing views man!!! excellent work!! 🤩🤩🤩
I was waiting from so many days, again a fantastic story by you, I am big fan of your way to telling your story
Had recently visited this place !!! Lovely people, great hospitality n wat a warm warm warm experience!!! Still cant get over it !!! Mind-boggling . Thankyou Abhishekh for covering this beautiful place.
Waiting bro,,!!😍
Take love from Bangladesh❤️🇧🇩
I cannot express my feeling by writing any comment. Wonderful!
Hi✨✨🌿🌿 Wow💕
It's been ages, when I saw a rainbow. Use to see in Delhi city during monsoon, when I was a little kid.💕🌿🌿✨✨
Just so beautiful ❤️ my take away from this episode is Serendipity and what serendipity is this that you find such lovely stories and people everytime. Thank you for bringing these stories to us. Superb visuals. Amazing work. 💛💛💛
very beautiful 👌👌😍 & All the best 👍
Beautifully captured landscapes with amazing stories of Hashim and Pooja. Cherry on the icing being the two rainbows, that added so much to the ending and what lines to end an episode- " don't make a list at all."-dilkhush ho gaya.
Beautiful awesome as usual.
Just wow... I m so amazed with how u find out such places which are total bliss, n moreover the people n invidual with stories hidden!!! Love this... N as always cinematography n ur narration to the places ❤️😍👌🤘
An adventurist would embark on to explore a place like Stok Village, definitely no less than a surreal destination. Nestled midst barren mountains and sorrounded by lush green sprawling meadows, Kaya cafe is stunningly a wonderful place..The authentic dish, no doubt,is a culmination of pan India flavours.The place is so serene and beautiful that one would like to find solitude and eternal happiness while spending a couple of days.Too good Abhishek...
Loved the episode. The gorgeous panoramic view of the village, the slow walks, the quiet picnic spot, the really yummy looking toasties, and those beautiful people with their untold stories…a perfect setup to unwind your mind and soul. And that breathtaking double rainbow (which showed up as a surprise), simply made it surreal. Everything captured so beautifully. Feeling nostalgic 🥹❤🌈
This episode is just 💛
When are you taking ur community for a Ladakh tour. I am on it. Thank you for showing the beautiful, happy, positive, nobel, empathetic, patient, loving India.
Spread the word and share. This is beautiful. ❤

Abhishek, the storyteller. How come... whenever you travel, you find the right places, like minded people, hearty hearty meals, heart melting n warm conversations on oh soo heart melting chai (variety of them🥰) and of course the real time life stories of those places and people ❤️ It's certainly that someone up there😊, who is happy to see us slow down🥰 and loose ourselves in your dreamy and mesmerising stories and locales😇. No wonder, that's why we are, who we are #TheUntravelTribe 🥰🤗❤️
I got this link from youtube stories. That's so cool
Nice
Hi Abhishek, superb content as always, just that this time the wait since the last episode was a tad too long! Really enjoyed watching the episode, at the end I was hoping there was more.
A suggestion please, it would be great if you, in the comments, can add a bit of detail as to the best time to visit the place you are covering and how one can get there. It would go a long way for people like me to help get their with the family.
BTW, any plans to cover areas closer home?
❤ what a show
no body will ever come to know secret of mr abhishek where he find so intellectual kind people amazing.
👍👍👍
😍👌🏼
So refreshing & charming & full of Life ❤️🌼💙 where r u from bhaiya?
I beg to differ when it comes to food shown here....but d rest is great, as usual.
❤❤❤

One thing that I find extremely classy about this channel is that you never ever ask anyone to comment, subscribe, or share your videos. Very few content creators on TH-cam do that. Even people like Ben Shapiro and Dave Rubin do it, despite having millions of subscribers. That is apart from the quality of your videos, which are far superior to almost every single Indian travel vlogger. This is the epitome of Male nature. Lage raho Munnabhai. Someone, someone, will realize your efforts. I can't ever have any respect for Indians, who speak English with a pseudo American accent. You don't do that.
abhishek bro please show cheerapunji and north east in ur style
Ladki Marathi hei , but English aise bolte hein jaise American origin ho . English bolo , normal cheezo ko hi fi naam do , bada bada explain karo n looto
Sabji nhi Veggies 😅 too much English 🙏
