The story
There should not be a desert here. You cross Khardung La at 5,359 metres, drop into Nubra, and there are white sand dunes with snow peaks directly behind them.
The camels are Bactrians — two humps, shaggy, descended from Silk Road caravan stock that got stranded when the trade routes closed. They are the only wild-descended herd in India and they still do the same walk across the same sand.
