Places to Go in Kargil
1. Mushkoh Valley- Located in Drass Valley in the Ladakh region of India, this place is popularly known as the Valley of Wild Tulips. Its elevation is around 11,000 feet, and the Mushkoh River is considered to be a majorly glacial one. You can trek to Tilail in Gurez, situated in Bandipore, from this valley. There is a nearby village situated on the highlands, surrounded by mountains and meadows. The Drass River flows through it and you can have a marvellous experience here as it is one of the best places to visit in Kargil.
2. Hundurman Border View- It is the last village of the Indian Territory, located close to the Indo-Pak border. Hunderman is a historical village that has seen around four battles between the two nations and faced significant issues in the 1999 Kargil War. Now an abandoned village, it hosts a museum named Hunderman- Museum of Memories. You can witness early utensils, family documents, jewellery, indoor games, traditional house structures, and other ornaments of the locals kept here at this museum.
3. Aryan Valley- Comprising four village clusters, namely Dah, Hanu, Garkon, and Darchik, the Aryan Valley is commonly referred to as the Dah Hanu region. The main population of the village consists of the Drogba community, who are known for their unique ornamentations and headgear. It is one of the most culturally rich tourist places to visit in Kargil, as you can come across distinct traditions and practices here. This place has gained attention in recent years and is continuing to do so because of the myth of housing “pure Aryans” here. Nonetheless, this place is extraordinarily beautiful, just like the rest of Ladakh.
