Nubra Valley Tour

A Wonderland Frozen in Time

Gorgeous, pristine, and pretty much off the beaten track, Nubra Valley is one of the less explored destinations in Ladakh. Located at the confluence of river Nubra & Shyok, this gorgeous valley, locked between Ladakh and Karakorum ranges, is an unusual combination of dunes and blossoming apricot orchards. After passing the mighty Khardung La Pass, a spaghetti-like road runs down the valley, taking you to Diskit, one of the many oasis villages of Nubra. Your amazement has no bounds as the stark landscape suddenly comes alive with bursts of desert blooms & apricot trees in Nubra.
