Nubra Valley

Destination

Nubra Valley

Sand dunes, double-humped camels, and wide valleys beyond Khardung La.

Nubra surprises: desert dunes beside snow peaks, Diskit’s monastery gaze, and Hunder’s soft evening sand. Cross Khardung La only when acclimatised.

KTC sequences Nubra after Leh rest nights—never the day you land.
