Traveling on Camels
Hundar was the capital of the erstwhile Nubra kingdom in the 17th century, and is home to the Chamba Gompa. Between Hundar and Diskit lie several kilometres of sand dunes, and (two-humped) bactrian camels graze in the neighbouring forests of seabuckthorn. Non-locals are not allowed below Hundar village into the Balti area, as it is a border area. The beautiful village of Baigdandu is also located in this area. There is a marked presence of people with startling blue eyes, auburn hair and rosy cheeks as against the typical mongoloid features of the Ladakhis. Local lore has it that they were a Greek tribe who came in search of Jesus Christs tomb and eventually settled here. Baigdandu is also known for the goats that give you the famous Pashmina shawls.The main road access to the Nubra Valley is over Khardung La pass which is open throughout the year. Its status as the highest motorable road in the world is no longer accepted by most authorities. An alternative route, opened in 2008, crosses the Wari La from Sakti, to the east of Khardung La, connecting to the main Nubra road system via Agham and Khalsar along the Shyok River. There are also trekkable passes over the Ladakh Range from the Indus Valley at various points. Routes from Nubra to Baltistan and Yarkand, though historically important, have been closed since 1947 and 1950 respectively

EDITORS COMMENTS
Traveling on Camels in Hundar, Nubra Valley". This print captures the enchanting beauty of Hundar, once the capital of the ancient Nubra kingdom. Nestled between Hundar and Diskit are vast stretches of mesmerizing sand dunes, where bactrian camels with their distinctive two humps graze peacefully amidst the neighbouring forests of seabuckthorn. Hundar village stands as a gateway to the mystical Balti area, a border region inaccessible to non-locals. Here lies the picturesque village of Baigdandu, known for its inhabitants with striking blue eyes, auburn hair, and rosy cheeks – an intriguing contrast to Ladakhis' typical Mongoloid features. Local legends whisper that they may be descendants of a Greek tribe who sought Jesus Christ's tomb and eventually settled here. Baigdandu is also renowned for its goats that produce exquisite Pashmina shawls. To reach this remote paradise nestled in the heart of Ladakh's rugged terrain, one must traverse Khardung La pass – historically hailed as the highest motorable road globally but now disputed by experts. Alternatively, since 2008 an alternative route has been opened via Wari La pass from Sakti towards Agham and Khalsar along Shyok River. While trekkable passes over Ladakh Range connect Nubra Valley to Indus Valley at various points today, historical routes leading to Baltistan and Yarkand have remained closed since 1947 and 1950 respectively. Immerse yourself in this awe-inspiring landscape through this remarkable print brought to you by Fine Art Storehouse (not affiliated with any commercial use) curated by Nutexzles.
