The Hunder sand dunes in Ladakh, India, offer the unique experience of riding Bactrian camels (double-humped camels) in a high-altitude desert. The best time to visit is during the summer months (June to September) when the weather is relatively mild. Accessibility to Hunder can be challenging due to the mountainous terrain; consider altitude sickness precautions. While solo visits are possible, guided tours from Leh or Nubra Valley are recommended for transportation and local insights. Camel rides are typically short, lasting around 15-30 minutes, and the cost can range from INR 200 to INR 500 per person. A visit to the dunes, including the camel ride and exploration of the area, typically takes 2-3 hours. Be mindful of the strong sun and carry appropriate sun protection.
