Nubra Valley — Local services in Saltoro Range

Nubra is a subdivision and a tehsil in the Indian union territory of Ladakh. Its inhabited areas form a tri-armed valley cut by the Nubra and Shyok rivers. Its Tibetan name Ldumra means "the valley of flowers". Demands have been raised and BJP has hinted at creation of Nubra as a new district. Diskit, the headquarters of Nubra, is about 150 km north from Leh, the capital of Ladakh. The Shyok River meets the Nubra River (or Siachan River) to form a large valley that separates the Ladakh and Karakoram Ranges. The Shyok river is a tributary of the Indus river. The average altitude of the valley is more than 10,000 feet (3,000 m) above the sea level. The common way to access this valley is to travel over the Khardung La pass from Leh. Foreign nationals are required to get a Protected area permit to visit Nubra. Since 1 April 2017 Indian citizens are also required to get an Inner Line Permit to visit it. Alexander Cunningham listed Nubra as one of the five natural and historical divisions of Ladakh.Nubra occupies the northeastern portion of Ladakh, bordering Baltistan and Chinese Turkestan in the north, and the Aksai Chin plateau and Tibet in the east. In Cunningham's conception, Nubra includes all the region drained by the Nubra and Shyok rivers. it is 128 miles long and 72 miles wide, making up an area of 9,200 square miles. It extends south till the Pangong Lake. In modern nomenclature, the Nubra region is divided into "Diskit Nubra" in the north and the "Darbuk region" in the south, both of which are regarded as tehsils and subdivisions of the Leh district. The Diskit Nubra region includes the Turtuk region that was captured from Pakistan during the Indo-Pakistani War of 1971 and the Siachen Glacier region. The main road access to Nubra is over Khardung La pass which is open throughout the year. Its status as the highest motorable road in the world is no longer accepted by most authorities. An alternative route, opened in 2008, crosses the Wari La from Sakti, to the east of Khardung La, connecting to the main Nubra road system via Agham and Khalsar along the Shyok River. There are also trekkable passes over the Ladakh Range from the Indus Valley at various points. Routes from Nubra to Baltistan and Yarkand, though historically important, have been closed since 1947 and 1950...

(Will contain spoilers) Overall I very much enjoyed Lake. It’s a nice relaxing experience that will leave you feeling warm and fuzzy at it’s end. The story leaves you feeling more and more immersed as the game progresses and you really start to care for some of these characters. However, nothing is perfect. I’ll begin with the performance issues. Now this may very well be because I’m playing on an Xbox One and I’m not extremely well versed with with graphics and performance stuff but there was many moments where I was running on probably 10 FPS, and that definitely hindered the immersion at points. Secondly, (and I’ll group these into one category) The voice acting is good, but it’s ruined by the facial expressions and body language. The characters seem so dead and whenever a VA is delivering a line with such passion the model is just robotically flapping it’s mouth, the blinking doesn’t help either. Thirdly, the concept of mail delivery seems fun at first but when you start getting into the second week it’s just a bore. You just want to get through the day so you can progress in the story with whoever you may be meeting with that night. It just became frustrating and I began sighing in annoyance every time it would spawn me back out in front of the post office every morning. Some sort of random encounters while driving or opening mailboxes would be a welcomed addition. I know I stated a lot of negatives but at the end of the day this game is good, and I highly recommend...
