To begin with, what makes Ladakh special is the journey. Road tripping through some of the most scenic routes is definitely a bucket list check thing. About Turtuk, it’s a small village that has a history of its own. It was a part of Pakistan until the war of 1971, and even being a part of Ladakh, it’s different. The geography, face features of the locals, language, everything. Road journey from Nubra to Turtuk is extremely beautiful and is not to be missed when in Ladakh. And you’ll find hot water springs at Panamik, and a beautiful waterfall in Turtuk, again a rare sight in Ladakh.
