Chulungkha
Nubra Valley and Boarder View
Discover the charm of Nubra Valley, a hidden gem in the heart of the Himalayas, where tradition, nature, and breathtaking landscapes await you. Nestled in this serene region, our cozy homestays offer an unforgettable experience in an unexplored village, surrounded by the majestic peaks and a peaceful atmosphere.
A visit to the border viewpoint or just the view from the village itself, will give you an incredible view of the boarder to the neighboring country. The Shayok River adds to the region’s natural beauty, and one of the highest motorable passes leads you from Leh into this paradise, the Khardungla Pass (5359m).
With a mostly Muslim population, the village has a unique cultural blend, where Balti traditions are carefully maintained. The homestays are an ideal base to explore the area’s fascinating history, visit the museum, and immerse yourself in the handicrafts that showcase local artistry.
Nature lovers will be thrilled with bird watching, wildlife sightings (including the possibility to spot the elusive snow leopard in february), and nature photography opportunities. The best time to visit is from April to September, with the 21st of March horse polo event offering a taste of the local festivities.
Enjoy the organic produce grown right here, including figs, grapes, muleberries, barley, and buckwheat, which are the pride of this valley. All your meals will feature fresh, organic ingredients, giving you an authentic taste of the region.
Just a short distance from Turtuk, the famous but therefore also overcrowded boarder town, Chulungkha is offering peace while also giving you the same expierences and boarder view. Embrace the ambiance and explore the wonders of Nubra Valley – a destination unlike any other.
