   Nanak Dev Ji. Nestled deep in the Himalayas, a drive of another 4 km takes us to the
   Magnetic Hill defies the law of gravity. As you move ahead from Magnetic Hills, just
   before Nimmu Village, there comes a famous Confluence Of Two Rivers, Indus River coming

3. Day 3 Nubra Valley

   Leh–Nubra Valley via Khardung La

   Post breakfast we drove to Nubra Valley. The road journey from Leh to Nubra Valley passes
   over Khardung La (The Highest Motorable Road In The World) at 5,602 Mtrs / 18,390 Ft,
   around 39 km from Leh. From the pass, one can see all the way south over the Indus valley
   to seemingly endless peaks and ridges of the Zanskar range, and north to the giants of the
   Saser massif. Nubra Valley is popularly known as Ldumra or the valley of flowers. It is
   situated in the north of Ladakh between the Karakoram and Ladakh ranges of the Himalayas.
   The average altitude of the valley is 10,000 Ft. above sea level.
   Upon arrival in Nubra, we check in at our Camp or Hotel. In the evening we drive to Hunder
   where you have an opportunity to ride on a Bactrian camel (double humped) amidst the sand dunes of this high-altitude desert with snow-capped mountains on the horizon.
   Between Hunder and Diskit you come across sand dunes besides the road. Seen in isolation
   you could well be amongst the sand dunes of the Thar Desert in Rajasthan. On the return
   stop at Diskit which is the headquarter town of the Nubra Valley. Stroll around the bazaar
   observing the shops and local people going about their daily chores. Diskit is famous for 515
   years old Buddhist Monastery, lying magnificently situated on a hilltop, facing the entire
   Valley. Later we drove back to the Hotel for dinner & overnight.
