The area of the Shyok river past Hunder with its mountain scenery, including a few villages of Skuru, Changmar, Bogdan and Turtuk, were only opened to foreign tourists in 2010, so they are still quite new in their contact with tourists and the West, and feel rather unexplored.

Various activities are offered, like quad bike, and camel riding on bactrian camels, who have two humps reminding us of old times when this region was a part of Silk Route to Central Asia. There are some restaurants at the entrance of the "park" and parking of course. You also just walk in from Hundar itself without bothering so much about anything commercial.
An important Buddhist holy lake inside a minor mountain, great for a stroll and surreal pictures. There is a tea stall and a parking where the trail to the lake begins.
There are a few hot springs and a few pools in this area. The pool at the GPS coordinates of this listing is the most sophisticated and touristic one—they might charge for this one in the future. But there is another simple pool just behind Oasis Restaurant, 150 m south.
Diskit Gompa
The oldest and largest Buddhist monastery (gompa) in the Nubra Valley.
Not as commercialised as the Hundar Sand Dunes, so just enjoy the tranquillity.
