Sumur Homestay-Nubra Valley

Sumur

What Diskit is to the Shyok Valley, Sumur is to the Nubra. Sumur is a very picturesque and peaceful village in the Nubra Valley of Ladakh. Located at an altitude of 10720 ft, 117 km from north of Leh, it is known for its untouched sand dunes and Samstem Ling Gompa which stands above the village at the foot of barren mountains and was founded by Lama Tsultrim Nima in 1840s. Its lovely green and yellow fields along with the Nubra River, the snow clad mountains in the backdrop makes it a picture perfect place.

Sumur Homestay was built by Tsering Stobdan in 1998 which eventually became first and probably the only homestay of Sumur. Located near Saser Camp, it is curated in a farmland with fruit trees all around. It has 7 guest rooms, all come with attached bathroom and English toilet. It has a traditional Ladakhi kitchen and a dinning hall which has become a meeting place for travelers who come from across the world. It also has a garden to bask in the sun.
