Panamik




Panamik, also known as aka Pinchimik, is a very large settlement at the bank of Nubra River in Leh District of Jammu and Kashmir. It is situated about 20 km from Sumur.

Once, this village was the first or last stop of the ancient trade route between Ladakh and central Asia. Panamik is famous for the hot spring. The water is supposed to have healing power.

A 250 year old monastery, Ensa Gompa, is nearby. Even though the monastery is kept locked, picturesque views are attained from rows of crumbling chortens (stupas).
