Nubra Valley Tour Packages

Tourist Places in Nubra Valley – Basking in Unfiltered Sunlight

Aside from warm-hearted locals, this severe yet beautiful land has a character of its own. The snow-capped summits of Karakoram Range shine below the desert landscape of a wide river valley. Major attractions to cover here on Nubra sightseeing include Diskit, Panamik, Hunder, and Turtuk. The main highlights of Nubra valley are double-humped Bactrian Camels roaming around sand dunes of Hunder, the famous hot springs at Panamik, open vistas of the Nubra River from Diskit Monastery, the iconic Maitreya Buddha statue, and the road to Siachen Base Camp. After the descent from the Khardung La pass, the small village of Khalsar shows the first sign of civilization in this otherworldly land. The main road forks here into two different roads: the right one along the Nubra River goes to Siachen River via Panamik, while the left one along the Shyok River reaches to Turtuk via Diskit and Hunder.

Highlights of Nubra Valley Sightseeing

The town of Diskit, about 115 km from Leh and 15 km from Khalsar, is the administrative center of Nubra Valley. It remains the hub of all tourist activities in the region. The majestic Diskit Gompa built in 1420 offers a great view of the valley below. It is the second largest Buddhist monastery in Leh after Thiksey Gompa. A 32-meter-tall statue of Future Buddha or Maitreya Buddha is the main landmark of the valley. Just a 15-min drive from Diskit takes visitors to Hunder which is popular for its desert landscape and outdoor thrills including camel rides, quad biking, and overnight camping. About 70 km of deafening emptiness beyond Hunder, lies one of the last inhabited settlements on the Indian side of LOC, the town of Turtuk. Settled by Balti people, Turtuk is a lovely place that is known for orchards, a two-storey courtyard house-turned-museum, and a medieval monastery-turned-mosque from where one can see K2, the second highest mountain in the world. Our Nubra Valley sightseeing packages include a visit to Turtuk and adventure activities in Hunder. The major attractions on another arm of Nubra Valley include the hot water springs of Panamik, which is the last village accessible to travelers. The Ensa Monastery and Yarab Tso Lake in Sumur are lesser known places to visit in Nubra Valley.
