We left Leh early morning for Nubra valley via Khardung La pass. The drive of almost 40 km from Leh to Khardung La was serene, though the roads were narrow and broken... after spending some time at Khardung la, we took the serpentine roads to Nubra valley... before checking in the hotel, we visited Milkha point, followed by camel ride and archery game.
Finally, around 6 pm, we checked in K2 Luxury resort...first, it was difficult to find the resort as it was away from the main road and directions were not clear... moreover, there was no signal in our Airtel phone... anyway, the check-in was swift and the camp was clean and had attached washroom... it had a queen size double bed, clean towels and quilt, a TV with satellite connection and a mirror...believe me, it is a luxury in such places...
Dinner was served around 8pm... it was basic but delicious...generator was switched off post lunch and it was dark...for which nubra is known... we thought of star gazing but later discarded the idea owing to chilly winds...
The only regret I had was that next day we had to leave early morning around 6am... in spite of informing the camp owner and confirming that we'd be served tea... there was no body available to prepare tea... even hot water wasn't available in buckets... we checked for owner and helpers in various tents but no one woke up......We left Leh early morning for Nubra valley via Khardung La pass.

Overall, a mixed experience... perhaps, being one of the few good camps, they can afford to look the other way... still, the place is clean and food is tasty...and reasonable...More
