Attractions in Nubra Valley
Maitreya Buddha, Diskit
The large seated Maitreya Buddha near Diskit Monastery faces across the Nubra Valley. Its colourful sculpted form and broad valley backdrop make it a distinct stop beside the monastery.
Hunder Sand Dunes
The cold-desert dunes near Hunder lie between rugged mountains and the Shyok Valley’s greener patches. Double-humped Bactrian camels are associated with this stretch of Nubra.
