8 About Nubra Valley In the days of yore, the fertile Valley of Nubra formed a part of the overland route between Tibet and Turkestan. Once dotted with garlands of camel and yak caravans, this Silk Route glen is also known as the 'Valley of Flowers' of Ladakh, and is amongst the greenest valleys in the region ideal for your holiday break. One can understand why anyone would envy the flowering glen of Nubra valley. During early summer, Nubra is clad in endless bushes of yellow and pink wild roses, and once the valley is through with the season of roses around August, a carpet of wild lavender lies gently on it. Nubra is also a relatively warmer valley in Ladakh, and the comparatively benign climate helps yield better crops and fruits, making Nubra the Ldumra, or orchard of Ladakh. The romance of the Silk Route still hangs in the air as you cross the formidable Khardung La The highest 'motorable' pass on the planet- which connects Leh and the Nubra Valley. The road from Leh rises steeply to meet Khardung La and then dramatically plunges into a whirlpool of bends and turns to gradually unfold itself along the rushing Shyok and the Nubra Rivers. Visit the Deskit and Hunder villages. The road connecting Deskit with the quaint little Hunder Village winds through a gorgeous stretch of sand dunes. You could spend a pleasant evening around these natural marvels that border a stream, and have snow-capped peaks for a backdrop. Keep your eyes open for the double-humped camels and Seabuck-thorn forest! The more adventurous ones could take a camel ride from Hunder to Deskit. We recommend on way to Nubra and in Nubra valley: * Enjoy a hot cup of tea at army check post just after Khardung La. * Enjoy a Bactrian camel ride at Hunder (no fear of falling as these are two humped camels!). Please note : Prepaid number doesn't work in Leh & Ladakh. Also, not all postpaid numbers work in the region, as only BSNL postpaid number works in the Nubra valley ( Deskit-Hunder-Turtuk). However, in Turtuk and Pangong, one will have to get to certain place in order to get the network. Also, Nubra Valley and Pangong gets limited electricity due to its complex location ( at times hot water buckets is provided for shower) Mail rekha@banjaracamps.com Web Office /6 Banjara Camps & Retreats A26 First Floor, Nangal Dewat Behind Spinal Injury Hospital Vasant Kunj New Delhi

9 Important Note: Food & Hygiene: Food is a mix range of vegetarian/ non- vegetarian with a choice of Indian, Continental & Chinese food. All meals are buffet meals. There is no room service at most places. Fitness: You should be in good health if you wish to hike. Please take your doctor s advise if you are a heart patient, asthmatic, pregnant or suffer from epilepsy. Altitude Sickness: Acclimatization to altitude above 3000 meters takes time. The body undergoes a number of physiological changes some of which are immediate like increased pulse rate & respiratory rate. These changes plus the effect of intense sunlight, walking & dehydration may cause loss of appetite, fatigue, headache, nausea, dizziness, sleeplessness, mild shortness of breath etc. The best treatment is prevention! Avoid rapid ascents; take acclimatization symptoms seriously using rest days/diamox tablets. If symptoms are severe, DESCEND IMMEDIATELY. Medicine: We keep a first aid kit. Please bring your personal medicine. Tipping: Tipping amount is at your discretion. Photography: Please ask your guide before taking photographs inside any monastery. If you plan to photograph locals, pleas take their permission before doing so.
