Nubra Tehsil

Nubra Tehsil spans across valleys and mountains, featuring sandy deserts, snow-covered peaks, and rivers meeting at an elevation of 10,000 feet above sea level.

The region functioned as a vital segment of the ancient Silk Route, connecting Tibet with Central Asia through mountain passes and facilitating trade exchanges.

The population includes Buddhist communities managing monasteries like Diskit Gompa, while Balti Muslims maintain their traditions in villages near the Line of Control.

Access to Nubra requires crossing Khardung La pass from Leh, and foreign visitors must obtain a Protected Area Permit before entering the region.

Double-humped Bactrian camels roam the sand dunes of Hunder, offering rides through a cold desert landscape surrounded by Himalayan peaks.
