Nubra valley

Today we left Leh and proceeded towards nubra valley going through khardung la.Khardung la is the highest motorable pass(some say its marsmik la)at 17830 feet.We started from leh at around 8:00 am and reached khardung la at around 11:00 am though it was only 40 kms drive.The landscape changed from barren to snowy land.The views from khardung la was good. It was of course snow bound and it was pure white unlike what you find in rohtang.It was beautiful.we spent some time there sipping tea and buying souvenirs.We then descended on other side of la to Nubra valley.After we crossed north pallu,south pallu and khardung villages we reached diskit around 2 pm.The scene had everything with river flowing between sand desert and high mountain with snow capped capped peaks, there are no words to describe the place.we also had the first sight of wild double humped camels.Then we proceeded to hunder for stay.We checked into hotel called Snow leopard guest house.It had decent rooms with attached baths and beautiful garden .Food was served in common dining hall.In the evening i took camel safari for 30 mins and it costed me 300.15 mins 150 rs.1 hr 500 rs.It was a different kind of experience to be on the camel and experiene desert.It was dusk when i returned back to my hotel.
