Hunder Tourism and Travel Guide

Barren with a hint of greenery, the Hunder village is as mesmerising as the other places in Ladakh. Situated 160 km from Leh, in Nubra Valley, reaching Hunder is a little difficult for those who don't like mountainous roads. To reach Hunder, one has to cross Khardungla (which is considered to be the highest motorable pass in the world) and it's almost a 5 to 6 hour journey since the roads are a little tricky. The village itself has many homestays and resorts and it's very wise to spend a few days amidst the breathtaking beauty and serenity this small village has to offer. One of the major attractions of Hunder are the Bactrian (double-humped) camels, mostly spotted calmly grazing amidst the boundless sand dunes in the area! Thought the area around the village is quiet and isolated, the village itself is full of life and cheerful people. Do visit the Hundur Gompa, a Buddhist monastery located close to the Diskit monastery and one of the oldest monasteries in Ladakh.
