Nubra is clad in endless bushes of yellow and pink wild roses, and once the valley is through with the season of roses around August, a carpet of wild lavender lies gently on it. Nubra is also a relatively warmer valley in Ladakh and helps in growth better crops and fruits, making Nubra the Ldumra or orchard of Ladakh.
