Nubra Valley sits in northern Ladakh between the Karakoram and Ladakh ranges, with high mountains, rivers, villages, sand dunes and surprisingly green pockets around water.
A camp stay in Nubra Valley lets you experience this unusual landscape at a slower pace. Instead of seeing Nubra only as a stop on a Ladakh road trip, you can spend the night around Hunder, Diskit, Sumur or other villages and wake up surrounded by mountains.
The official Ladakh tourism administration highlights Hunder’s sand dunes and double-humped camel safari, Diskit and Samstanling monasteries, Panamik hot springs, trekking and the Shayok and Siachen river landscapes as major attractions.
Camp Stays India helps you explore suitable camp stay options based on your travel dates, route, group size and preferred level of comfort.
