Hello friends.

I hope you all are fine. I'm fine too. The beauty of the Nubra Valley

In today's post I share with you the memories of my visit to Nubra Valley. The Nubra Valley is located between the north and east of Leh. The distance from Leh to Nubra Valley is 155 kilometers. And it takes about 4 hours 30 minutes to cover that distance by vehicle. This was the ancient trade route that connected North Asia. Which existed until 1938. But since then China has closed its borders and since then that trade route has ceased to exist. The people there are mainly involved in tourism and hotel business as millions of people from all over the country come here to visit. This valley is also very famous for tourism.

I have shared with you a few photos showing the beauty of Nubra Valley. Which makes you appreciate the beauty of that valley. There is a road from Leh to Khardung La to reach Nubra Valley. Khardung La is a beautiful pass from where the Nubra Valley begins. I have shared the post in my old post with photos from during the visit to Khardung La Pass. Which is one of the most spectacular places. The Nubra River flows through the desert. There is nothing wrong with Ladakh being divided into desert and mountains. Nubra means "greenery". Because wherever this river passes, it turns green even in the desert. Which coincides perfectly with the name of that river.

These photos are taken from a place called terith in the valley. The river Shyok and Nubra meet here. From here onwards the river is known as shyok. Standing in front of here, one can see the place where the river gathers. Diskit Monastery can also be seen from here. Whose photos I have also shared. The Diskit Monastery is a large Buddhist monastery that was built in the 15th century and has undergone major improvements since then. It is flanked by large mountains. Which can be seen in the photos. There is a 105 feet high statue of Maitreya Buddha in front. The mouth of the statue is on the Shyok river side. The complex also has six armed Mahakala statues. The statue is very bright. The best time to visit Gompa is early in the morning when the mantras are recited aloud by the monks. Due to which the atmosphere there is mesmerized.

If you like this photograph then pleases upvote and comment on it so your comment will inspire me to share more good photographs.

Thanks for visit.
