The overview
Why travellers come here
Cross Khardung La and the landscape changes character completely: cold-desert dunes at Hunder, double-humped camels left behind by the Silk Road, and the irrigated green of Diskit, Sumur and Turtuk’s Balti villages. It is the most varied corner of Ladakh and worth two nights, not one.
