Important Places to Visit in Nubra Valley

Enthusiast tourists across the globe love to visit Leh Ladakh trekking paradise of India. They can select any Ladakh package online from the several Ladakh packages designed by the famous tour organizer Destination@Doorstep. I will suggest you to choose Sand dune Magic Ladakh package which is suitable for historical, cultural, adventurous and peace lover tourists.

Nubra is a high altitude desert with rare rainfall and scant vegetation except along river beds at about 10,000 ft. above the sea level. The villages are irrigated and fertile, producing wheat, barley, peas, mustard for oil, and a variety of fruits and nuts, including apple, walnut, apricot and even a few almond trees.

The Shyok River meets the Nubra River to form a large valley which separates the Ladakh and the Karakoram Ranges. The common way to access this valley is to travel over the Khardung La pass (18380 ft.) from Leh. Non-locals require an Inner Line Permit to enter Nubra. The permit will be obtained by your tour organizer in Leh.

Tour tour organizer Destination@Doorstep has arranged an ethnic camp to enjoy in Nubra Valley where you will stay for visiting the following important places and camel safari:

• Ensa Gompa: The 250 years old Ensa Gompa, nestled on top of a rock overlooking snow-peaked mountains across the valley is much further away than it looks.

Gurdwara Pathar Sahib

Gurdwara Pathar Sahib is a beautiful Gurudwara constructed in the memory of Guru Nanak about 25 miles away from Leh in Ladakh, on the Leh-Kargil road, 12000 ft above sea level. The Gurdwara was built in 1517 to commemorate the visit to the Leh Ladakh region of Guru Nanak Dev, the founder Guru of the Sikh faith.

During his lifetime Guru Nanak travelled to many distant places and one such place was Tibet. Guru Nanak is well respected by Tibetan Buddhists who consider him a saint; The Dalai Lama, has confirmed this in his discussions with some Sikh leaders saying that Tibetans respect Guru Nanak as a Buddhist saint under the name of Guru Gompka Maharaj.

Gurdwara Pathar Sahib

The 25 miles road from Leh to the Gurdwara Pathar Sahib is in good condition, visitors can go by bus or taxi. The Gurdwara Sahib is located next to the main road near Magnetic Hill India. Visiting hours for the Gurdwara Pathar Sahib is 8 A.M. to 7 P.M. from April to October and the rest of year it remains closed due to heavy snow fall.

In the late 1965, during the construction of the Leh-Nimu road in Leh Ladakh, a large boulder was found in the middle of the road bed covered with Buddhists prayer flags. The boulder was covered with Buddhist prayer flags, the type of flags that are often found in Ladakh and are strung by Buddhist Lamas along mountain ridges and peaks high in the Himalayas to bless the surrounding countryside.

It was tried to push the huge stone to the side by bulldozer, but it refused to move. Suddenly, with a large snap, the blade broke and the work stopped. That night the driver had a dream in which a voice told him not to move the stone.

Today, the site and the Gurdwara that now covers the boulder are respected by both the local Lamas and Sikhs. Currently the army is looking after the Gurdwara Pathar Sahib.

It was that boulder which was pushed down by the demon to kill Guru Nanak. The imprint of the body of Guru Nanak Dev and the footprint of that demon can be seen on it. The boulder is currently kept on display in Gurdwara Pathar Sahib. It is said that since the visit of Guru Sahib to the building of the roadway in 1965, the local Lamas had held the boulder sacred and offered prayers to it.
