Nubra Valley is North-West of Leh across the Khardung La - arguably the highest motor-able pass in the world at slightly above 5600m. On the other side, we went to Hundar, which is by the side of the Shyok river. This part is a world of contrasts. Huge swathes of sand dunes right next to a river. The dunes even have water filled ponds in them!
Diskit is another small town in this valley with a stunningly located Gompa.
Beyond Hundar, civilian movement is a but restricted, as it is about a 100km from the sensitive Siachen Glacier.
The valley, with lots of water everywhere, white sands and immense mountains all around - none of the photos could capture even a small part of the wonder.
