Aptly known as the valley of flowers, Nubra Valley is a fascinating tourist destination located near the Khardunga La pass (highest motorable pass in the world) in the north of Leh in Kashmir. One has to cross this Pass to reach Nubra. The views of this valley are mind-blowing. Fruits like apples, apricots, oranges and berries are cultivated here. You will also find several monasteries, ruins of palaces and villages around the valley. You will find several centers of Buddhist leanings here. Bactarian camels (shaggy double humped camel) and sand dunes are the other interesting attractions of the valley.

Diskit Village
It is well known for the Diskit Gompa, the largest and the oldest monastery of the valley dating back to 350 years. It is surrounded by apricot orchids. You can also enjoy a ride on a double humped camel in this village.

Airport Representative was very Good Tour & Guide Services was very Good Ground Services was excellent Hotel Services was excellent -
Generally all are good except that in shimla. Silverine hotel is not a suitable hotel for elderly people as they need to walk up and downhill to the hotel….though the place is ideal for shoppers -
Thank you so very much for going above and beyond to ensure that we had a wonderful trip. I have been telling everyone about your hospitality. I truly had a great time and I especially am thankful for all your organizing and to take time to show us your family and invite us to your home. You have a beautiful family and I think Choti (your little sister) is so adorable -
Hi Gaurav, thanks for following up and for all your efforts in making all the necessary arrangements for my trip. I thoroughly enjoyed the trip. A few suggestions on how you might improve your services for future bookings -
Many thanks for putting together a wonderful and memorable vacation for us. We thoroughly enjoyed it. We did not find anything lacking from your side. It was our first visit to India and it seems like we are already planning to be back. The pace was hectic so we did not find much time to visit the local markets which we will have to make up next time -
We reached home safely on Sunday morning (USA time) and slept most of the day. I cannot thank you enough for all your help and efforts in making our trip such a wonderful success. I will never forget the experiences we had and fun time we enjoyed all throughout the trip. I will send you pictures soon.....'not to worry!!!' -
We waited almost two years to meet again and it was well worth it. Everybody had a fantastic time and loved every moment of it. Your friend speaks very good English now and we all wish her well in the future. It seems that shopping with your friend was the highlight of the trip, the ladies would not stop talking about it -
