Nimoo is a stop for all the river rafting groups and is the main starting point for the annually held all-India river rafting expedition on the Indus River.
The temperature here varies from 40 °C in summer to −29 °C in winter. Due to such a harsh climate and extreme weather conditions, this area has very little vegetation cover (as seen in the picture on the right). It has a hydroelectric power plant known as the Nimu-Bazgo dam.[4]
Magnet Hill is a gravity defying road[5][6] 7.5 km southeast of Nimoo.
