Camel Safari in Ladakh
 The 'Ship of desert' camel is certainly not confined
to the desert of the plains and Rajasthan but is also one of the chief
modes of transportation in the cold deserts of Ladakh since the ancient
times. Mostly available from July to September, camel safaris are one of
the most memorable experiences as one gets used to the rolling and
wobbly movements of the camel while exploring rugged mountain terrains
and enjoy the ride through some of the most ancient passes and have
first hand experience of the lifestyle of the remote villages of Nubra
Valley. The sudden change of fertile and lush green apricot orchards to
the frozen desert and snow-capped peaks takes one almost by surprise.
The other thing about camel safari in Nubra that fascinates one is the
shaggy double-humped Bactrian camel. In the earlier times, Central Asian
traders used these camels as pack animals but since 50 years they have
been bred for transport purposes as well. ToDay, these camels have
emerged as the hot favorites of the tourists as the choice of their mode
of transportation during camel safaris. Deskit and Hunder are the
popular centers for this activity. Camel Safari provides one opportunity
to watch and relish the scenic beauty of the Ladakhi valleys, villages,
especially the Panamic village, and the colorful Buddhist monasteries or
Gompas and have a dip in the famous hot springs of the region, which are
said to possess therapeutic qualities..
