Suru Valley -
One of the most beautiful regions of Ladakh, the
Suru Valley is the heartland of Kargil district. Nestling along the northern
foothills of the Great Himalayan Wall, it extends from Kargil town, first
southward for a length of about 75 kms up to the expanse around Panikhar. The
valleys are especially picturesque in spring when they are the Sankoo-Panikhar
tract is magnificent. The open valley adorned with undulating alpine meadows
strewn with wild flowers, groves of poplars and willows are set against the
majestic backdrop of the Himalayan peaks dusted with snow. The upper reaches of
the Valley, particularly around the Sankoo bowl, the Panikhar expanse and the
higher stretch beyond, present a spectacle of breathtaking features-majestic
mountain ramparts crowned by snowcapped peaks, undulating alpine slopes draining
into wild mountain streams of foaming cascades of pristine water, awesome
glaciers descending along the Himalayan slopes to the river bed in riverine
formation, quaint villages of adobe houses straggling dry hillocks surrounded by
large tracts of lush crops downward and patches of alpine pastures uphill.
At Thangbu, a little village, the traveller gets a first glimpse of the
spectacular Nun - Kun massif. Panikhar 12-km beyond this is the base for treks
to Kashmir and Kishtwar. The road goes past the glaciers of the Nun - Kun massif
to descend to Rangdum set in wild and beautiful surroundings. It is located at
the furthest end of the suru valley before the Penzi La pass.
