It's an incredible to meet and gain some understanding of these extraordinary people, listening to their stories and learning about their history.
Your trip will also take you to Diskit Gompa, renowned as one of the oldest and largest Buddhist monasteries in the Nubra Valley. After an early start and morning prayer near the towering Maitreya Buddha, return for a hearty camp breakfast. While away the afternoon enjoying an adventurous camel ride through the desert and the rolling dunes followed by a cup of Darjeeling tea accompanied by breathtaking views. Rediscover the lost world of Nubra Valley on this awe-inspiring trip.
