Siachen Base Camp is an Indian Army base camp located in the Nubra Valley of Ladakh. It is one of the 2 bases from where the military operations at Siachen Glacier are controlled, the other base being near THOISE. Tourism is now allowed in the region, even though civilians are not permitted to go all the way inside the Army base.<\/p>\n
The drive from Leh to Siachen Base Camp is about 200 kilometers long and will take you anywhere between 8 to 10 hours to complete. The road runs across the high-altitude pass of Khardung La and the scenic Nubra Valley.<\/p>\n
