The plum season in Ladakh is fully ripe in July and lasts until August. In the vast Nubra valley, fruit trees are everywhere. This land is nourished by the Indus River and a tributary of the Indus River named Shyok, so the trees are greener and more fertile than other parts of the North Indian region
The apricot tree (locally known as chulli) is believed to have been planted in Ladakh more than a century ago, and originated in China or Central Asia.



It is now a staple fruit tree in this area. Apricots are grown in home gardens, in open spaces of villages or along the Shyok River. There are also apricot trees growing steeply in the high mountains, without people picking them. During the trip to Ladakh, there are two famous villages that tourists often explore, staying at Hunder Valley and Turtuk Valley, both covered with green plum gardens.
