Nubra Valley

The divine beauty offered by the Nubra Valley makes it one of the most popular tourist spots in Ladakh. Hundreds of tourists visit the heavenly location every year. The valley is a deep-cut gorge formed by the effects of the Nubra and Shyok rivers. It is an extension of the Tibetan Plateau. The distance between Leh and the Valley is around 160 km.

The Diskit Monastery, Samstanling Gompa, Hunder Sand Dunes and Yarab Tso Lake enhance the place's appeal even further. At dusk, you can visit the towering statue of Maitreya Buddha or Dikshit Monastery. The Nubra Valley is a famous tourist spot with beautiful green patches, brown hills and the green river flowing smoothly.

Best Time To Visit

It is one of the few valleys in Ladakh, accessible all over the year as it passes through the Khardung La, the highest motorable civilian pass. Our travel agents have been customising Ladakh tour packages for years and advise tourists to plan the trip from September or October or April to June. You can make the most of the trip as the region does not receive any snowfall or rainfall during that time of the year.
