I don’t think I have written much about my visit to Ladakh, where I was to attend Naropa Festival, I and need to write more but in the meantime you do check, like, download and share your June 2017 Desktop Wallpaper Calendar featuring a Camel Train of Double Humped Bactrian Camels of Nubra Valley in Ladakh. Originally these camels are not from this area but from vast plains between Afghanistan, Turkmenistan and what was in those days Persia but as they were very important for silk and spice trade along the ancient silk route many villages kept them and were a sign of wealth in those days. In India Hunder village Nubra valley is the only place you find these double humped Bactrian Camel. The money helps the local economy the camels still fend for themselves chewing on the sparse vegetation found in the valley and attempts at entering various farms around as the vegetation is always greener and juiciest in the fields and farms.īut mostly the camels are on their own after sunset and during the winters and are brought back into service during the summer. Now the few of the domesticated camels are put into service for tourists for a joy ride. The camels train moving on the sand dunes looks very impressive and reminds you of the large caravan that once crisscrossed these forbidden lands that were cut off from rest of the world for more than 6 months in a year. Some of the enterprising locals have enticed some of the camels into domestication and use them to offer camel ride to the tourists. For all practical purpose, these are feral camels living wild and are less than 200 in numbers who are descendants of camels that were left to fend for themselves when the caravans on the Silk route stopped due to change in the geopolitical situation. You know the kind of questions baby camels asks their mom?īut before we move forward did you notice we are talking about “ Two Humps” Yes, ladies and gentleman, boys and girls, this post may have started invoking a joke but it is actually about the double-humped Bactrian camels found in the Nubra Valley, Hunder Village about 11.7 KM from Diskit town. “Why are our feet padded? “Why do we Camels have 2 humps on our back?

The little baby camel has a hundred questions to ask his mom.
