Nubra Valley- Trek
Tour Code: (NHI - NVT) < Book this Tour >

Well acclimatized with the days in Leh, we take you across the world highest motorable pass - Khardungla at 5600 meters, only a 1-1/2 hour drive from Leh. Clear weather permitting, you can see the Saser and Arganglas group of mountains We now enter the famous Nubra Valley, which was opened to tourists only in 1994. This beautiful valley with an average altitude of 3000 meters has a milder climate than the rest of Ladakh, and the Shyok River which feeds this valley has made agriculture easy. Here we also have the double humped Bactrian camels which were the only means of transport before the roads were made. It is a scenic four hour drive to this valley, passing villages along the ancient Silk Trade Route to Central Asia to Panamic, the last halt for the caravanners, Snow capped surrounds this valley which also boasts of one of the best monasteries - Samstaling in Kyagar village. Fairly well populated, the villagers here treat us to a wonderful Ladakhi evening of singing and dancing. Nubra valley is approximately 400m lower than Leh, Nubra sports a much milder climate, which enables its inhabitants to cultivate more extensively, as compared to their counterparts in the main Indus valley.


The first days we will visit the most beautiful monasteries of the Indus valley. Afterwards, we will take the highest motorable roads in the world, passing over the Khardong la pass at a height of 5400 m. The trek starts in Hundar and join the Indus valley via the Lasermo La (5200 m), through mineral landscapes, in an atmosphere of ancestral traditions.This trek has still not gained popularity due to the restrictions imposed on individual travelers. It traverses lush green meadows with alpine flowers that are the summer grazing grounds for the people of the valley.
