Nubra Valley Ladakh
Nubra Valley is situated about 150 km north of Leh.

To enter the Nubra valley, one must cross over the Shyok River via a small bridge and pass through a military checkpoint. Tourist require an "Inner Line" permit to pass.
The main attraction in this area is Bactarian Camels (Shaggy double hump Camel) around sand dunes, Deskit & Samstanling monasteries and Khardung la Pass.
The road journey to Nubra valley leads through Khardongla (the highest motor able road in the world(18,380 feet// 5,578 m) around 50 kms. away from Leh city. After crossing the pass, you can have a view of Khardong village, Khalser, Sumur, Panamic and Deskit (the main villages of Nubra valley).
