A Desert Adventure
The Bactrian camel safari in Nubra Valley is a popular tourist activity in the northernmost part of India's Ladakh region. Bactrian camels are unique creatures with two humps on their back, and they are well adapted to the harsh desert environment of the Nubra Valley. They are commonly referred to as ‘ships of the desert’ and are often used as pack animals in this region.
Suggested Duration - 1 hour
The best time to visit Nubra Valley for a camel safari is from June to September when the weather is pleasant and the temperatures are relatively mild. However, you should be prepared for cold nights, even during the summer months, as the valley's altitude can make the temperature drop significantly.
The joy of travel comes in exploring new things. Planting your feet somewhere you’ve never been before brings with it the rush of discovery and the joy of pushing back on the boundaries of your world.
But when one does arrive at that fresh frontier, there are ways better than others to begin your journey of discovery. Follow these steps and see the world with a new light.
• Discover a new city through a food tour. Food tour’s are the easiest way to take a tour, learn about the local delicacies, and the best of all, get great tips that aren’t just “local” tips for tourists, but sometimes, lessons for a lifetime too
• Use Public Transportation. When you are in a new city, you can possibly see places and people that you wouldn’t normally see when simply walking to the places that checks your list. Some buses or rails take you to parts of the city you wouldn’t get to see otherwise. Whilst using public transportation, just ensure that you are following the local norms and do remember to watch the locals!
• Find a local festival. Go beyond what other tourists might do while visiting a place. Look for the unique things you would want to do. Use social media or the local tourism website to find out what’s going on locally. You may have to move out of the center of the city to do some of the less popular but more unique things, so just keep that in mind!
