At first glance, the ultra-wide sceneries, massive mountain faces, gorgeous pathways, a rainbow of hues, and melodious Shyok river flowing through the valley will steal your breath away. Hunder Village in Nubra Valley is noted for its cold desert and opportunities to camp and ride Bactrian Camel (double-humped camel). The Diskit Monastery, located in Nubra Valley’s main town, is the region’s oldest and largest monastery and a must-see.

Get ready to see the delights of Ladakh, the Land of High Passes, and break the humdrum of city life. Ladakh is a haven for all types of travellers and a gem for those who truly wish to immerse themselves in the wonders of scenic beauty. There is a lot of hustle and bustle in Ladakh most of the time, so always decide in advance when you want to go.  Ladakh is particularly beautiful during the winter when it is completely covered in snow and the views are breathtaking. While the landscapes are ablaze with vibrant blooms during Summers that reach the peaks of the valleys.
