Hundur is a small village in a wooded valley, 7km in the north of Leh. It is as far as one is allowed to go to follow the track of the Nubra valley. The village is famous for its herd of Bactrian camels which places as an indication of its days of the old trans- karakoram trade route. You may come across them during the walk up here. The main monastery lies just below the main road nearby the bridge at the end of the route. Further down and across the stream is a rusty, cobweb-filled old manor that once belonged to the local Zimskhang royal family, and is now occasionally unlocked by a key-keeper at the Goba Guesthouse. Abdul Razzaq, an ex-teacher organizes camel rides around Hundur starting around Rs. 800.

Accommodation in Hundur
Accommodation in Hundur is even more laid back; the most popular hangout is the friendly Goba Guesthouse, 400m down from the roadside Gompa, an appealing, low-key affair with a sunny yard and hundreds of flowers. It is situated nearby the road and caters to group tours. The overpriced Chamba Camp, a group of luxury tents starting up around $55 is set up on the grounds of Zimskhang Manor. More remote, but excellent value, the Snow Leopard, set in a beautiful vegetable garden, has great views and offers some rooms with bath. To get there, follow the metalled road past Chamba Camp and the new Jamshed Guesthouse toward Diskit, you will reach the Snow Leopard in around ten minutes.
