What our travelers think about their stay
Khardung La is the Pass at 5602 metres that you travel through to enter the Nubra valley, to the north of Leh.
My suggestion
During your trip to India, do not forget to apply for a permit to enter the Nubra valley. You will be required to go to the camps of South and North Pullu, just after the Pass.

My suggestion
To cross the pass and head for the Numbra Valley, rent a Royal Enfield in Leh, brave the trucks – carefully working your way past them – and savor your freedom, all against a backdrop of immense mountains. Welcome to Ladakh!
