CAMEL RIDE IN HUNDER- NUBRA,
LADAKH
 About
12,000 ft above sea level, 150 km north of Leh, lies the Nubra
Valley, one of the highest deserts in the world where many are
lured to experience the Camel Safari. On the double humped
Bactrian camel in Hunder and Diskit, travel over the Ladakhi
sand dunes. Our camel safaris start from Hunder, where you
will make an acquaintance with the Mongol inhabitants, and
will go on to explore never before experienced locales along
the non-motorable side of Shyok River, all the way to Turtuk
at the border!
Camel Safaris through Ladakh are one of the most memorable
experiences possible in the Himalaya with a difference. You’ll
soon get used to the rolling and wobbly movements of the camel
while exploring fertile and lush apricot orchards, rugged
mountain terrains, frozen desserts, and the remote villages of
Nubra Valley.
In addition to the villages and scenery, we’ll stop at
colorful Buddhist Monasteries and have a dip in the famous hot
springs of the region which are said to possess therapeutic
qualities.
 Camel
Safari
In the valley of Nubra The road from Diskit to Hunder, which
falls along the historic Silk Route, winds through sand dunes
where one can spot Bactrian camels. It is one of the two
surviving species of camels, they are a critically endangered
sub species with very few of them left in the wild. These
shaggy camels with a coat of thick hair have double humps on
them. These tuff beasts are the natives of the central Asia.
After the closure of the Silk Route, most of the camels were
let off into the wild. most of them have been tamed and are
being used for domestic work and to ferry the tourists to the
villages of diskit and hunder.
We arrange camel safari for our guests to different places
starting from Hunder or Diskit, these shaggy beasts will take
you through various points of interesting silk route, which
covers areas such as Yulkam, Pinchimik, Tiggur, which hundreds
of years before was a road to prosperity and wealth ,you will
picture yourself as a rich merchant carrying your own vast
caravans of merchandise along the sand dunes and rugged barren
mountains.
