Diskit Holidays
At the final stage of our 'Royal Enfield' road trip, we found ourselves in the Nubra Valley. We couldn't go any further as there were military restrictions in place. Diskit is home to a magnificent monastery, which sits above the village and is typically Ladakhi in style.
Diskit: What to see nearby?
What our travellers think of their stay
Diskit is one of the main stop-off points of the Nubra Valley, North of Leh. The enormous, coloured Buddha looking over the Valley.
My suggestion
Ideally, spend three days in the Nubra Valley to make successive stops at Diskit, Hunder and Turtuk.

You'll hear about the sand dunes and camels at Hunder, 10km away; an exciting prospect to smile about. And what's more, it's true, there are dunes! When you see such incredible sights, you'll think you're in another world.
