LADAKH – A LAND OF LAKES, MONASTERIES, VALLEYS & LIVING CULTURE
Double-Humped Camel Safari in Nubra Valley
As part of Holiday Guides’ special Leh Ladakh tour package from Kolkata, you’ll experience the breathtaking Nubra Valley, nestled between the Karakoram and Ladakh mountain ranges. This unique region, a sub-division of the Union Territory of Ladakh, is famous for the rare Bactrian (double-humped) camels that once served on the Silk Route.
To reach Nubra, you’ll travel approximately 160 km from Leh via the town of Diskit, taking about 5.5 hours. En route, you’ll cross the iconic Khardung La Pass (17,600 ft) — one of the highest motorable roads in the world, offering surreal views and attracting bikers and adventurers globally.
In Hundar Village (12 km from Diskit), you’ll find pristine white sand dunes where the double-humped camel safari takes place. This scenic desert landscape amid snow-capped peaks is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Camel rides cost approx. ?200 per person for 15 minutes.
Nubra, once called Ldumra (Valley of Flowers), is also known for its berries and nuts, especially Leh berries (Hippophae) and sea buckthorn, a vital food for the camels.
Note: An Inner Line Permit (ILP) or Protected Area Permit (PAP) is mandatory to enter Nubra Valley, due to its proximity to international borders. Indian nationals require ILP; foreign nationals must obtain a PAP from the DC Office in Leh.
Pangong Lake – The Changing Jewel of the Himalayas
Your 5N/6D Ladakh tour also includes a visit to the enchanting Pangong Lake, located in the Changthang region, around 5 hours from Leh. Sitting at an altitude of 4,350 m (14,256 ft), this brackish water lake spans 134 km, with nearly 60% of its area in Tibet (China).
What Makes Pangong Lake So Unique?
-
Changes color through the day—shades of blue, green, purple, and violet
-
Freezes completely in winter despite being saline
-
Home to migratory birds like Brahminy ducks, seagulls, and the rare black-necked crane
-
Look out for Ladakhi marmots, commonly spotted near the lake
Although boating is not permitted, camping beside Pangong offers a magical experience, especially under starry skies.
Trivia: Pangong gained fame after featuring in Bollywood films like 3 Idiots and Jab Tak Hai Jaan, making it a top attraction in Ladakh.
Must-Visit Buddhist Monasteries During Your Ladakh Tour
