Camel ride : Cold desert of Hunder, Nubra Valley, Ladakh, Jammu and Kashmir, India.
We had a long journey back from Turtuk to Hunder sand dunes. When we arrived, it was almost 5.30 in the evening. It was getting dark and therefore couldn’t get sufficient light and ample time for photography. I experienced hot desert in my country at Rajasthan, but it was an amazing experience of a cold Himalayan desert here in Ladakh! I thought to myself how versatile my country is!!!
Amidst the snowcapped mountain ranges of Ladakh, the Hunder Sand Dunes is a unique bed of nature that lies for several kilometers between Hunder and Diskit villages in the Nubra Valley. It is one of the high altitude deserts in the world that covers a wide area and is cut across by a gentle stream. It is one of the popular camping sites for the adventurers. The cold desert is also dotted with many species of plants like seabuckthorn, and animals like Bactrian Camels, Yaks and Pashmina Goats. Further, passing through the Hunder Sand Dunes to Hunder, which is a remote village in the Nubra Valley, where the surrounding nature brings forth a vast expanse of colorful landscape that is dotted with wild flowers and horticulture products over the rich green bed. The Hundar Gompa is one of the popular attractions crossing through the Hundar Sand Dunes. One can even enjoy a Bactrian Camel safari through the Hunder Sand Dunes and acquaint with the intangible nature.
