Nyoma

India / Jammu and Kashmir / Leh /
 village, taluka headquarter

Tehsil Nyoma, District Leh. Ladakh, Bharat

Nyoma - Administrative Hqrs of the Changthang Sub Division

A town (4235 mtrs) of about 110 houses and a gompa fittingly perched above the town. Lots of fields and lots of herds of pashmina goats. It has a Customs office too, as near here five routes from Tibet merge.

The whole town gets electricity from solar panels. In winter the Indus is frozen and people cross over to Nidar over the Indus even in their Jeeps. The first photograph is of Nyoma in winter.

Opposite, across the Indus, can be seen the plains and fields of Nidar village. That is also an alternative way, over the Thit Zarbo La to Hanle and the Kyun Tsos.
