Karnak Valley, also known as Chang Chu, is in
Ladakh,
Leh District of
Jammu and Kashmir. This valley is a beautiful camping site.
Sumdo is at the end of Karnak Valley. Nearby is Dhat, one of the largest villages in
Rupshu - the region of great lakes. The valley once belonged to Ladakh’s richest
monastery in Hemis. It is a broad valley bounded by hills and cliffs. The lower half of the valley is not inhabited and thus forms a ready-made core area for the
Hemis High Altitude National Park.
