@18380 feet above sea level

The third weekend was marked by a two day trip to Nubra valley. The average altitude of this valley is about 10000 ft above sea level. It is located South of Siachen. We crossed the world's highest motorable road on the way to Nubra (the claim as highest motorable road is currently disputed). It is the Khardung La, the pass that is between Leh and Nubra. The Khardung La top is at an altitude of about 18380 ft. above sea level. We stayed at Hunder district for night. One can see Bactrian (double hump) camels here at Hunder. There are also beautiful sand dunes (it is a typical cold desert like Leh). On our way back we saw a convoy of army trucks heading towards Siachen (reminded us of the scenes in movie 'Lakshya'). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q8f-x3vp7rE
