Sakti Nubra Phyangtrek
The Garden is what literally Nubra means and it lines up to its name because Nubra is greener as compared to other parts of Ladakh. Situated on the old caravan route, this beautiful fertile valley was an important halting place on the old caravan route. It lies north of main Indus valley and Leh. It was a restricted area because of its strategic location bordering China on the northeast and Pakistan on the west. The highest battlefield of the world, Siachen Glacier, is located here bordering Pakistan where still Indian and Pakistani armies exchange fire almost every day.

This trek route is one of the less traversed and during this trek one can see may wild flowers and plants. Also one can encounter the nomadic people of the region with their hers of sheep and Yaks.
