Let us tell you, this place is 105 km away from Leh, and can be reached only between April and August. The rest of the time the roads to reach here remain closed due to snowfall.
Drass
To pay tribute to the brave soldiers of the Indian Army and to commemorate the victory over the Pakistani Army, the Government of India has built the Kargil War Memorial in Drass on the Leh Highway. Tourists come from far and wide to see it. Let us tell you, every year on 26 July, tribute is paid to the martyrs at this place. Let us tell you, now Drass is known for the Kargil War of 1999. Drass is often called the “Gateway to Ladakh”.
Sham Valley
Sham Valley in Ladakh is a place where you will get to see a different form of nature. It is often called the “Apricot Valley”. Situated amidst the majestic Himalayas, this tranquil valley is known for its beautiful views, cultural heritage and quiet villages. If you come here and talk to the local people, you will come to know that the people here still use many such ancient things, which are on the verge of extinction.
Nubra and Changthang
The Kinubara Valley of Ladakh is known for its centuries-old gompas (Buddhist temples or monasteries common in the historical region of Tibet), hot sulfur springs, high sand dunes, a unique amalgamation of mountains, rivers and deserts. Changthang is home to a variety of wildlife species due to its diverse climate.
Here you will find that the plateau is home to rare and endangered species such as the Tibetan wild ass (kiang), Tibetan antelope (chiru), Himalayan marmot and snow leopard. Migratory birds also visit here. These include the black-necked stork and the bar-headed goose.
