One of the highlights of the visit to Nubra valley in Ladakh was the trip to Hunder valley to see the Bactrian camels.
HUNDER VILLAGE
Other than the distinct anatomic feature I did not know much about them.So it was interesting to learn later that they belong to the critically endangered species.The humps are used to store fat which can be converted to energy and when the fat is used up they become floppy.
BACTRIAN CAMEL
As it was the peak tourist season there was a long queue for the mandatory rides.I chose not to do that and was happy just being there and observing these gentle animals.
A TENDER MOMENT
