The village houses The Stok Palace & Museum, 71 Ft. Gautama Budhdha Project ( inaugurated in 2016 ) and & Stok Monastery. Finally not to be missed is trekking point from where mountaineers begin their climb for 20,180' Stock - Kangri peak in months of August / September.

Stok - The Most Scenic Place Near Leh, Ladakh
Stok Village will rank as the most scenic place nearest to Leh town hardly 14 km of driving. The few homestay accommodations are available to tourists. The snow clad mountains at the back drop of layers of hills, with planted willow trees and tiny brooks, make it a place with picture post card beauty. The significance of the place is compounded by the fact that it serves as the starting point for Stok -- Kangri expedition. In early summer one can easily trek a distance of 5 km to reach the base camp called Changma. Being on fringes of Hemis sanctuary, one will see some wild life from close proximity. The Stok Palace and Gompa is hardly a 2 km drive from the village. My travelogue on Stok can be read by taking the following link:
Leh Palace, Ladakh
Construction of Leh Palace was initiated by Tsewang Namgyal and completed by Sengge Namgyal in 1553. It was former royal palace of Ladakhi King of Namgyal dynasty.The palace was abandoned when Dogra forces took control of Ladakh in the mid-19th century and forced the royal family to move to Stok Palace.
The top floor of nine storeyed structures was accommodated to the royal family, while the lower floors held stables and store rooms etc. Much of the palace is in deteriorated condition, and little survives of its interior decorations. The Palace Museum holds a rich collection of jewellery, ornaments, ceremonial dresses and crowns. Chinese thangka or paintings, which are more than 450 years old, with intricate designs still retain the bright colours derived from crushed and powdered gems and stones. Stuctures around the palace's base include the prominent Namgyal Stupa, the colourfully muralled Chandazik Gompa and the 1430 Chamba Lhakhang, with medieval mural fragments located between the inner and outer walls.
The palace is being restored by the Archaeological Survey of India.
The palace is open to the public and the roof provides panoramic views of Leh and the surrounding areas.
