Leh-Ladakh is a mountainous region in North-West India totally isolated from the modern world. Nubra Valley Known as Ldumra (the valley of flowers) is situated in the north of Leh. The main attraction in this area is the Bactarian Camels (Shaggy double hump Camel) around sand dunes. Pangong is one of the most beautiful places in India but the serene tranquil Pangong Lake is not just a tourist’s paradise. It is also a geologist’s domain.
