Leh: Camel Ride in Hunder (Double-Humped Bactrian Camel Safari Experience) with Transfers

  • Nubra
  • • Adventure Activities
  • • Duration 1 hour

Description

Experience one of Ladakh's most iconic adventures with a ride on the rare double-humped Bactrian camel through the spectacular cold desert landscapes of Sumur in Nubra Valley. These unique camels are descendants of the animals that once carried traders along the historic Silk Route between Ladakh and Central Asia and are now one of the region's most distinctive attractions.

Unlike traditional camel rides in hot deserts, this experience takes place among white sand dunes surrounded by snow-covered Himalayan peaks, green oasis villages, and dramatic mountain scenery. Accompanied by experienced local camel handlers, you'll enjoy a peaceful safari while learning about the history, ecology, and cultural importance of the Bactrian camel in Nubra Valley.

Whether you're traveling with family, your partner, or friends, this unique cold-desert adventure offers memorable photography opportunities and an authentic glimpse into Ladakh's Silk Route heritage.
