Explore the Remote Beauty of Nubra Valley, Ladakh
Tucked to the north of Leh and accessible via the world’s highest motorable pass — Khardung La — the Nubra Valley sits between the rugged Ladakh and towering Karakoram ranges. This remote valley offers some of the most breathtaking and unique landscapes in the entire region.
Diverse Terrain and Rich Agriculture
At the confluence of the Nubra and Shyok Rivers, fertile lands support agriculture with two harvests per year — a rarity in high-altitude deserts. The result is a striking mix of lush greenery and arid cold desert, marked by rolling sand dunes and expansive riverbeds.
Adventure and Local Culture
Explore the sand dunes of Hundar on the back of a Bactrian (double-humped) camel, a rare sight in India. Enjoy golden sunsets over snow-capped peaks, or visit remote villages and ancient monasteries that preserve Ladakh’s traditional lifestyle. Numerous walking trails lead through scenic settlements and offer insight into this secluded yet vibrant region.
