V Resorts Cold Desert Camp Nubra

If the cold desert of Hunder is something you simply don’t wish to visit but experience in a larger,  more-fulfilling way, then our camp stay is just the place to base your Hunder excursions from. Located 9 km from Diskit and 121 km from Leh (5-hour drive across Khardungla Pass) V Resorts Cold Desert Camp Nubra is a camp stay meant for the serious traveller and offers an authentic peek of the region’s arid ecosystem. Just 100 meters from River Shyok and a 20 minutes drive from the Diskit monastery, the camp’s seclusion allows you to take in the beauty of the land without worrying about touristy clamour with the unobstructed views of the mountains, the quivering Shyok river and the sand dunes of Hunder.

Each of the 15 swiss tents at the camp is equipped with a large king size bed, two chairs, a coffee table setup along with a large attached bath. While the interiors are comfortable, the outside is where we expect you to spend most of your time and hence the open yard has multiple wooden swings to enjoy the views of your picturesque surroundings. The camp also houses a multi-cuisine restaurant serving all meals of the day to keep the physical appetite in check while the mental ones are addressed by the place itself. 

Go Local
Visit the Camel Safari point, barely 2 km from the camp and hop onto the Double-Humped Bactrian Camels. You can also indulge in adventurous activities like ATV riding at Khalsar and other villages around Hunder or indulge in river rafting in the Shyok river.

Located only 9 km from the resort, the Diskit Gompa with its towering Buddha Statue is another visit that must find its place on your itinerary. Being in one part of Nubra Valley, we suggest you also explore the other. Visit Sumur (1.5 hours drive time) to experience the quiet village life of Nubra. 

V Tip
While Nubra Valley and Hunder provide enough fodder for the eyes, the high altitude can take its toll on your health. We recommend that you stay in Leh for at least two days to acclimatize better before making the excursion across Khardungla Pass to reach Nubra. Carrying good sun-screens along with the medicine Diamox, to compensate for low oxygen are also things to keep in mind.
