As I entered the valley, I was surrounded by towering mountains and barren expanses stretching as far as the eye could see. The valley is an oasis of greenery, with the Shyok River meandering through it, and blankets of apricot and apple orchards. Nubra is also home to the famous Diskit monastery, which dates back to the 14th century. It was fascinating to learn about the history of the Silk Road and how it passed through this region. I couldn't help but compare this place to the other deserts I have visited on Earth - it was unlike any other.
