The broad Nubra Valley lies North of Leh across the 5602 m Khardong La known as the highest road in the world. The Nubra Valley lay along the ancient trading route into Tibet and onto China, decedents of the camels that once plied this route can still be found in Hundar. The broad desert valley is dotted with green fields irrigated from the Nubra and Shayok Rivers and ancient monasteries.
