A pristine place in Ladakh marked by subtle to high peaks around, crystal blue waters and the vast expansion catches the eye so much, so long as if a magic is happening right in front of the eyes.Pangong Lake, also known as Pangong Tso, lies calmly at a breathtaking elevation of 14,270 feet. Interestingly, the lake is 12 km long and marks itself between the laps of India and China. Rather, 60% of the portion is stretching in the neighboring nation and this excites every traveler to be here.The surreal clean blue waters are actually brackish or salty in nature and this feature doesn’t let any aquatic life survive in the same.

Pangong has another unique and catchy feature; when it acts like a chameleon and changes its color from blue to green to even grey at times.

And if you wish to repeat it again, it’s a blessing! Suggested Read: Leh Ladakh Tour Packages
One of the most beautiful parts of the moonscapes of Ladakh, Nubra Valley is a deep-cut gorge created by the combined effects of Shyok and Nubra (Siachen) rivers. A high altitude cold desert, Nubra Valley is actually an extension of the Tibetan Plateau (Qing-Zang Plateau) that starts in China and extends up to Ladakh. This valley in the plateau separates the Ladakh Range from the Karakoram Range.But more than anything, Nubra Valley is the most beautiful region in all of Ladakh. Home to wonders like the Diskit Monastery,Hunder Sand Dunes, Samstanling Gompa, Yarab Tso Lake, and the villages of Turtuk and Panamik.Located about 160 km from Leh, the capital of Ladakh, Nubra Valley is a great attraction to all those who come here. The gateway to the upper reaches of the country, especially Siachen, Nubra Valley has an oasis of a town in the heart, Diskit, making a great place to stop you and reflect at the beauty around.And while you are at it, take a short detour to the famous white sand dunes of Hunder. The shapes and forms that these dunes take during different times of the year mesmerize every visitor who comes here. To make it further interesting, there are the double-humped Bactrian Camels, offering rides through the dunes.And when it turns dusky, head to the Diskit Monastery and visit the towering statue of Maitreya Buddha which looks over the entire valley and blesses it for another day to come.Suggested Read: Chadar Trek 2022Essential Info:Brown hills, green patches, and a green river flowing right by everything, Nubra Valley is a bucket list item for every traveller and adventurer. There are a few facts and highlight of the place that everyone needs to know. A few of them are as follows.- Best time to visit: Now because the way to Nubra Valley passes through the mighty Khardung La, the highest motorable civilian all weather pass, Nubra is accessible throughout the year. But for the best experience, April to June, and September to October are the best time to visit Ladakh as there are no rains or snowfall at this time of the year.- Altitude: Average altitude of the valley is 10,000ft or 3,048 m above sea level.- Distance Between Leh and Nubra Valley: When taking the conventional route through Khardung La, the total distance between Leh and Nubra Valley is 160 km, and while travelling from the unconventional road of Wari La, it becomes approximate of 150 km- Permits: Because of the sensitivity of the areas around Nubra Valley, foreign nationals and NRIs need to acquire a Protected Area Permit (PAP) to gain entry into the valley. Similarly, for Indian Nationals, an Inner Line Permit is required for entry. While you can acquire the Inner Line Permit from the DM Office in Leh (in person), a PAP has to be obtained through a registered travel agent.How to Reach From LehThe beautiful Nubra Valley is accessible only from the city of Leh, and this can be done in two ways. For both the routes to be taken, one has to arrive in Leh to begin the journey, before deciding which way to go. One is the conventional route that takes you over the top of the world, while the other unconventional route is quiet and serene to no end.Route 1: Leh to Nubra Valley via Khardung La The conventional route that is preferred by almost everyone who comes to Ladakh trip, the Leh to Nubra road via Khardung La takes you over what is known to be the highest motorable civilian all weather pass. Standing at the height of 18,380 ft above sea level, the Khardung La Pass has played a significant role in Ladakh’s popularity and has provided an ease of travel and commute.Practically important to the army stationed in Siachen, Khardung La once was an important part of the Caravan trade route that led to Kashgar in central Asia and was traversed by thousands of horses and camels once. The descendants of those are what travellers come to see in Nubra, especially the Bactrian Camels.Starting from Leh, you will first arrive at Phyang, home to the famous 16th century Phyang Gompa (monastery), located about 16 km from Leh. Moving on from here and riding amidst tall mountains, you will gain a lot of height in a short span of time, but will not realize as there are hardly any effects on that on the body.You submit a copy of the permits at South Pullu before the top of Khardung La, where a signboard tells you how high you are. Here, the views are just breathtaking, especially the view of the entire Indus Valley.Next, you arrive at the Khardung La Village, that gave this place its name, followed by North Pullu where you show your permits again. After Khardung La Village, you would have already arrived in the valley, but you keep continue your Leh-Ladakh road trip to Khalsar, where the road bifurcates. The right road leads to Sumur, Panamik and Warshi, while the left one takes you to Diskit and Turtuk. Both the roads are scenic till no end and give you the best of views of the valley as you ride.Check our full guide on Leh-Ladakh bike trip which will help you on your journey. Route 2: Leh to Nubra via Wari LaThe less taken and the rather unconventional way to go to Nubra from Leh leads you through another one of the highest roads in the country, Wari La. Nested at a height of 17,427 ft above sea level, Wari La Pass is not for the faint-hearted. With steep sections and hard to conquer surfaces, Wari La becomes totally impassable in the winters.Starting from Leh, you take the Manali Leh Highway to reach Karu which is about 35 km away. A totally magnificent location in Upshi that no one will miss while coming from Manali to Leh highway, due to the multitude of colors that paint the region. From here, a sign will show you the route to Wari La, which, to say the least, is not everyone’s cup of tea.On your Manali to Leh bike trip you are going to ride on the roughest roads of ladakh, that are a challenge for both you and the vehicle, until you reach the small town of Agham, from where you get a continuous, quiet, and a serene stretch of road until you arrive at Khalsar, which is the beginning of Nubra Valley.Places to Visit and Things to Do in Nubra Valley Here are a few experiences that are must-haves while on a visit to Nubra Valley:1) Diskit MonasteryThe Diskit, or Deskit Monastery is largest and the oldest Gompa in the Nubra Valley of Ladakh.

The rocking and wobbling movement of the camel will be a fun experience as the beauty around captures your mind and soul.4) Quad Biking at Hunder Sand DunesSimilar to the experience of riding the camels on the sand dunes of Hunder, but a little more adrenaline spiking, you can also enjoy the experience of riding an ATV or a quad bike on the small mounds.
