The upper Shayok
and Nubra rivers drain the east and west sides of the Saser Spur,
the eastern most outcrop of the Karakoram. The name Nubra is
applied to the district comprising the valley of the Nubra river,
and that of the Shayok both above and below their confluence,
where they meander in many shifting channels over a broad sandy
plain before flowing off to the northwest to join the Indus in
Baltistan.
 From
Delhi, We reach Leh and after over a day of acclimatization in
this enchanting Ladakhi town, we visit the local attractions and
the magnificent monasteries. Situated on the ancient caravan
route, Nubra valley in Ladakh has been recently opened for
tourism.
We start our trek from Phyang village after visiting the Phyang
monastery. The trek passes over the barren and dry landscape as we
cross over the highest point at Lasirmo La (5,300 m). The high
mountain pass offers some spectacular views of the Karakoram,
Ladakh and Zanskar ranges. From Lasirmo La, the trail descends
into the Nubra valley near Hunder and from here the topology
changes into a dry plateau. From here we will be transferred by
vehicle to Khalsar along the banks of Shiyok River and passing
through some remote villages and finally crossing over Digger La
(5200 m).
The high mountain pass offers the panoramic views of both Ladakh
and Nubra valley. Our trek finishes at the Saboo village and from
here we return to Leh for our flight to Delhi where we have an
option of visiting the magnificent Taj Mahal in Agra or spend the
day in India's capital city for individual exploration / relaxing
