The Nubra Valley Trek is an unforgettable journey through Ladakh’s mesmerizing landscapes. This high-altitude trek takes adventurers across the cold desert of Nubra Valley. Trekkers traverse remote villages, monasteries, sand dunes, and the Shyok River, with breathtaking views of the Karakoram Range. The trek offers cultural immersion with stops at ancient monasteries like Diskit and Samstanling, while the sight of Bactrian (double-humped) camels roaming the dunes adds to its uniqueness. This trek is a perfect mix of adventure, culture, and stunning Himalayan scenery.

Nubra Valley Trekking Route and Experience

The Nubra Valley trek begins from Hunder (3160 m), renowned for its picturesque sand dunes alongside double-humped camels. From here, trekkers trek towards Skarchan following the Shyok River. The next stretch, from Skarchan to Hunder Dok (4061 m) takes you through lush pastures where yaks and dzos (a hybrid of a cow and a yak) graze, offering a contrast to the arid landscape of Ladakh.

Trekkers then confront an increasingly steep ascent, which takes them through the alpine meadows while offering impressive landscape views from Hunder Dok to Thanglasgo (4500 m). Then, a trek from Thanglasgo reaches Lasermo La which stands at 5,438 m and is the trek's highest point. This challenging stretch of trail rewards trekkers with spectacular views of both the Karakoram and Ladakh mountain ranges.

The trail then descends from Lasermo La towards Lasermo La South Base (4955 m), and continues to Morubuk (4053 m), which is the final destination of the Nubra Valley Trek.

Best Time for Nubra Valley Trek

The best time to embark on the Nubra Valley Trek is from June to October, when the trails are clear, and temperatures range between 15°C and 25°C. During this period, Khardung La Pass also remains accessible.
