Скачать или смотреть Cycling in shyok war memorial | Nubra valley to Turtuk Village

As with starting the journey from Leh, one should leave early in the AM from Hunder to cover the approx. 80 KM distance. Since there are many attractions in Turtuk, the more time you spend here, the better!. Yet, having a minimum of two days here would help in genuinely relishing the quiet of nature. Also, there are multiple attractions to explore highlighted below.

Again, the distance of ~80 KM takes about 2.5 – 3 hours, as is standard in this region. From Hunder, one kept straight on the Diskit-Hunder highway and moved northwards to Turtuk, alongside Shyok River.

First, 35 KM after Hunder, one comes near Thoise, a military airfield, and a tiny settlement. Though Thoise is not the real name of the place but an acronym – Transit Halt of Indian Soldiers Enroute (to Siachen). While no photography is allowed due to the sensitive nature of the region, the landscapes are exceptionally stunning.

After Thoise, the route becomes isolated again, with no sign of civilization. However, you will spot a few Gompas sprinkled away as markers.
