Those 5 unheard paradises of Ladakh where huge crowd of tourists do not reach, are best for those looking for peace in summer.

As the months of July and August arrive, wanderers from across the country start heading towards the mountains. Ladakh Tourism has always been the most favorite destination especially for adventure and nature lovers. In the plain states like Uttar Pradesh, Delhi-NCR, Punjab and Maharashtra, people are reaching Leh-Ladakh in large numbers to escape the humidity and scorching heat. But do you know that these days there is a huge crowd of tourists gathering at famous places like Pangong Tso, Khardung La and Nubra Valley, due to which the real peace there has been lost somewhere? If you want to experience real peace, ancient Tibetan culture and a sky full of sparkling stars, away from the noise this season, then definitely plan a trip to these 5 offbeat places in Ladakh. Turtuk Village: India’s last and most beautiful frontier village, situated on the banks of the Shyok River in the remote depths of the Nubra Valley, Turtuk Village is one of India’s most unique offbeat destinations. Before the India-Pakistan war of 1971, this beautiful area was under the control of Pakistan, which was later taken back by the Indian Army. The culture of this village is completely different from the rest of Ladakh. The people of Balti community living here are very friendly and their language, food and dress give a unique glimpse of Balti culture. The apricot orchards, narrow stony streets and the feeling of being close to the PoK border take you to a completely different world. Chushul Village: A quiet history situated very close to Pangong Lake Chushul Village, situated at the southern end of Pangong Lake, is a place which is not only known for its immense natural beauty, but also has deep historical and strategic importance. The historic battle of Rezang La was fought near this area during the India-China war of 1962. Far away from the huge crowd of tourists, this quiet village is a great place for those who want deep solitude amidst the rocky hills and blue skies of Ladakh. The war memorial here is also very special to awaken the feeling of patriotism. Sumur Village: An untouched and peaceful corner of Nubra Valley Often tourists visiting Nubra Valley return only after seeing the sand dunes of Hunder and the two-humped camels, but Sumur Village, situated across the Shyok River, is the most peaceful and green corner of this entire valley. This village is famous for its huge and historical Samstanling Buddhist Monastery, where the peace and spirituality calms the mind from within. Sumur is a great option to spend time close to nature in a tranquil environment and experience a local Ladakhi homestay. Hanle Village: Dark Sky Reserve and the magical world of stars If you are fond of photography or want to see millions of stars twinkling in the night sky and the Milky Way with your naked eyes, then Hanle is like a dream come true for you. Hanle, located in a remote area of ​​Changthang region, has been declared India’s first ‘Dark Sky Reserve’. The extremely clean and pollution-free sky here is best for viewing astronomical activities. The Indian Astronomical Observatory located here is one of the highest observatories in the world, which is the main attraction for tourists. Rangdum Village: A wonderful and mysterious stop in the Suru Valley, situated on the way from Kargil to Padum (Zanskar Valley), Rangdum is a very beautiful and isolated hill village. The lush green plains of Suru Valley on one side and the barren and huge snowy hills of Zanskar on the other side make this place very exciting and awe-inspiring. There is also an old Rangdum Buddhist Monastery from around the 18th century, which stands proudly atop a small hill. This place is perfect for adventurous travelers who want something different and a complete adventure in their road trip.
