Nubra Valley lies at a distance of around 140 Km from Leh. Located on the ancient Silk Route, the valley has Shyok and Nubra river snaking through it along with some of the beautiful monasteries. The region is currently under military supervision because the road further leads to the Siachen base camp, which happens to be the highest battlefield in the world. All foreign nationals need to get protected area permit, and Indian travelers need to obtain an Inner Line Permit to enter the Nubra valley.

With arid mountains in the backdrop, Nubra Velly is famous for the Bactrian camel rides. Bactrian camels are of the rarest sort, having two humps and were the primary source of transportation on the silk route. It is also famous for its Hippophae shrub, popularly known as Leh Berry.
