Camel
Safari in Hunder (Nubra Valley Ladakh)
Nubra Valley : Bactrian Camel Ride in Hunder
Hunder, which falls on the historic Silk Route, used to be a busy trade
stopover with caravans of Bactrian camels moving in and out of the Nubra
Valley.
Nubra Valley: From Leh, highway runs north over the awesome Khardung
La,(18000ft) the highest motorable pass in the world. Beyond the pass is the
wide, flat Nubra Valley, crossed by the winding channels of the Shyok &
Nubra Rivers. The original name Nubra was Ldumra (the valley of flowers).
There are Shaggy Bactrian (double - humped) camels in the sand dunes of the
Nubra Valley. Dotted around the valley are ancient Monastery and awesome
villages which makes this magnificent trip.
Safari on the Bactrian camels
In the valley of Nubra The road from Diskit to Hunder, which falls along the
historic Silk Route, winds through sand dunes where one can spot Bactrian
camels. It is one of the two surviving species of camels, they are a
critically endangered sub species with very few of them left in the wild.
These shaggy camels with a coat of thick hair have double humps on them.
These tuff beasts are the natives of the central Asia. After the closure of
the Silk Route, most of the camels were let off into the wild. most of them
have been tamed and are being used for domestic work and to ferry the
tourists to the villages of diskit and hunder.
We arrange camel safari for our guests to different places starting from
Hunder or Diskit, these shaggy beasts will take you through various points
of interesting silk route, which covers areas such as Yulkam, Pinchimik,
Tiggur, which hundreds of years before was a road to prosperity and wealth
,you will picture yourself as a rich merchant carrying your own vast
caravans of merchandise along the sand dunes and rugged barren mountains.
Sand dunes that lie between Hunder and Diskit in Nubra Valley lured many
tourists, with camel safari being the main attraction. It is the place where
one can enjoy Bactrian camel ride through the sand dunes. Unlike
single-humped camels found in Rajasthan and other parts of India, Bactrian
camels in Hunder have two humps and joyride on these camels would be a
memorable experience in the Himalaya with a difference.
