The road journey to Nubra valley leads through Khardung-La (the highest motorable road in the world) at 18,380 feet above sea level and is around 50 kms away from Leh. This short distance take hours to reach because of the perilous mountain roads, with breathtaking views of mountains and valleys.

Which month of the year did you go here? Have you traveled Manali-Leh? That was something I was about to travel, on bicycles.
priyank: I was in Nubra Valley July-end this year.
Yes, I have traveled Manali-Leh with a stopover in the tents of Sarchu, and I must tell you it has been one of the best road journeys of my life. No words can fully describe the awesome experience.
On a bicycle, I am afraid you'll need a lot of time ..and guts!

Breathtaking photos. I assume you were in a plane?
maverick: Thank you for dropping by. Am glad you liked the pictures. Thanks to you, I'll now think I am a good photographer. :)
chewy: Thank you.
I shot these pictures while on a road journey from Leh to Nubra Valley from atop Khardung-La (the pass at 18,380 feet above sea level) and those of the Khardung village on my way to the Himalayan village of Diskit.
I love to embrace the Himalayas from up close and personal. :)
Nature at its magnificent best - thanks for sharing. This looks to be a rugged and awe-inspiring terrain. I am so hooked to the Himayas as well. Wish I could do these places some day :-)
ananda niyogi: It indeed is 'magnificent best.' Glad you enjoyed these.
Have you been to Himalayas from Uttarkhand areas? I am yet to explore from that region.
Go visit the Nubra Valley, you will be in awe and come back with a smile.
Hi Celine,
Sorry for having been a bit absent lately, but I was abroad on a professional trip last week. One day I’ll probably show some pictures from a somehow unusual destination...
I'm absolutely overwhelmed with the wonderful pictures on your last posts. It has surely been an incredible adventure you had this year, and we are so fortunate that you share it with us.
Trying to recover some time, I’m posting on Germany (Koblenz, December 2005) on Blogtrotter.
Enjoy and have a great week!

pijush: *laughter* I'm happy that you liked these shots.
