Ladakh Inaugurates Bridges to Improve Connectivity and Boost Tourism in Nubra Valley
Ladakh's administration has launched multiple bridge projects to enhance connectivity and boost tourism in the Nubra Valley region. The Burma-Sumoor bridge will reduce a 70-km journey to about 500 metres, benefiting over 1,300 residents by improving access to services and markets. The Udmaroo bridge over the Shayok River, inaugurated recently, shortens travel by nearly 35 km and supports year-round access to the Buddhist pilgrimage site Sham Gombo. These projects, funded under the Special Development Package, aim to promote local livelihoods, agriculture, and religious tourism.
