    Great ….Who wouldn’t like to go to Siachen base camp …..will definitely boost tourism in ladakh…but have some concern regarding Siachen glacier…has it receded as is happening with all other glaciers due to global warming if so will too much human interference and presence further aggravate the scenario……Thanks.

  2. Been there on 1st May 2023…. Really mesmerized by the beauty of the glacier and the mountain…. Nubra river beside the road makes it more beautiful…. Good initiative for tourism but tourist should be sensible enough to respect the sanctity of the place.

  3. This is such an Amazing experience to visit Siachen Belt Nubra Valley. All the Guest are Most Welcome to the Valley of Flower (LDUMRA). Must visit Hot Spring Resort Panamik Nubra and take your experience to take Natural Medicinal Hot Spring Shower in your private bathroom as well as Small Jakuza type swimming pools.
    Must Stay at Hot Spring Resort Panamik.
