evidence: Ladakh is a mountainous region and a Union Territory in the north India and in the area known as the Trans-Himalaya, (the lands beyond the Himalaya: Tibet, Xinjiang and northern Pakistan). It's slightly smaller than Scotland, the settled population lives between 2700m and 4500m, and nomadic encampments can be found even higher. The people are a mixture of Buddhist and Muslim 50% of each. Buddhists are the majority in the east close to the China border and a slight majority overall while Muslims are having the majority in the north and west. Travelers are likely to see more of the Buddhists as the majority of the tourist attractions are in the east and directly related to Tibetan Buddhist culture. [...] The places to visit in Nubra Valley are Diskit(regional hub with a nice monastery), Hunder (9km from Diskit, white sand dunes, camel ride, several mid to high range camping options), Sumur (monastery, camping), Panamik(hot sulfur spring, avoidable) and the recently opened Turtuk(inhabited by Balti people, was part of Pakistan up-till 1972, 5km from Pakistan border, wonderful scenery and comfortable homestays). Nubra valley lies 140 kilometers from Leh town. It is nestled on the renowned Silk Route and is often visited by tourists for its stunning vistas. This valley is nestled amidst the Leh-Ladakh and the Pangong River that flows through it. Although the valley has got nothing much to explore, the camel ride here is an interesting one.
