Nubra district is one of 7 districts in Ladakh, India.^[1]

The district was established on 26 August 2024.

History

It is situated in the North of Ladakh, between Karakoram and Ladakh ranges of Himalayas.

Geographic condition and tourism

One of the main draws of Nubra is the Khardongla pass, the highest motorable road at 18,380 feet, along with stunning peaks, glaciers, enchanting valleys, and villages. Diskit and Samstanling Monastery, Panamik thermal spring, two-humped camel ride, white-water rafting, hiking, and relaxing in the sand dunes at Hunder are also popular tourist attractions. This region is commonly referred to as Ldumra or the valley of gardens and blooms. Nubra is situated at an elevation of around 10,000 feet above sea level on average.

Climate

The fertile soil in the soft climate areas of Ladakh results in thicker vegetation compared to other areas. Shrubs, bushes, and trees thrive in large quantities in locations with available water sources. Because of this factor, Nubra has earned its rightful name- Ldumra. Shayok and Siachan rivers create a significant drainage channel in Nubra. Nubra is a wide valley surrounded by high mountains on all sides. The valley becomes more attractive where the two rivers converge. The creation of the Central portion of Nubra occurs in that location as well. Diskit serves as the headquarters of the Nubra Sub-Division. Diskit Gonpa is located at an elevation of approximately 200 meters. On the rocky mountain spur above the village, there is a prominent point with a clear view over the central part of Nubra.

Samstanling Gonpa is located to the North, overlooking Diskit Gonpa. This monastery holds equal significance and is especially valued for its location at a picturesque viewpoint in the foothills of the Karakoram ranges, overlooking Tegar and Sumoor villages, surrounded by water and lush vegetation. All the main villages including Kardong, Khalsar, Tirit, Sumoor, Tegar Pinchemik, Tirisha, and Panamik are situated along the historic silk route.

In the past, the villages in Nubra valley were used as stopovers for caravans traveling through Central Asia and Kashmir. Panamik was the primary stopover point for the Caravan. It acted as the final important village where the Caravans received feedback before crossing the Saseer and Karakoram passes to Central Asia.

The renowned hot spring in Panamik was used by them for bathing, drinking water, and therapeutic reasons. Panamik still possesses its charm and potential to accommodate travelers. The beauty and welcoming atmosphere of the area are enhanced by the presence of surrounding attractions like Iantsa Gonpa and Murgi waterfall.
