Nubra

Nubra, also called Dumra, is a historical region of Ladakh, India that is currently administered as a subdivision and a tehsil in the Nubra district. Its inhabited areas form a tri-armed valley cut by the Nubra and Shyok rivers. Its Tibetan name Dumra means "valley of flowers". Demands have long been raised for the creation of a Nubra district. On 27 April 2026, the Lieutenant-Governor of Ladakh approved the formation of a new district. Diskit, the headquarters of Nubra, is 120 km north of Leh, the capital of Ladakh.
