Leh Ladakh to Nubra Valley: is it worth the trip?
Distance, travel time, day trip or overnight — and how to fit Nubra Valley into a Leh Ladakh holiday.
Why go to Nubra Valley
Khardung La, sand dunes at Hunder and double-humped camels. A high valley reached over one of the world's highest motorable passes, with cold-desert dunes and the Diskit monastery.
Is it worth it?
Nubra Valley deserves a night — the 5-hour drive makes a same-day return tiring. It's the natural extension if you have four or five days.
