Day 3

We headed towards Nubra Valley
And when you hear of Nubra then visiting the iconic Diskit Monastery is a must.
The view from Diskit Monastery is breathtaking

After our accomodation at Nubra we removed our cameras and tripods and went on a stroll during the evening to capture some long exposure shots

Day 4

The day we all were excited for had finally arrived.
We left to visit Turtuk
Surrounded by crumbling rock faces, there is only one road in & out , a bumpy track that crosses over high passes to Leh.
The place is really hard to get to but the stunning views makes it all worth the drive.
After spending half a day there it was time to get going back to Nubra before the sun sets.
