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.{{cite web | url=https://www.news18.com/news/india/strategically-located-nimu-which-proved-its-worth-during-kargil-war-has-a-new-identity-after-pm-modis-visit-2699631.html | title=Strategically Located Nimu, Which Proved Its Worth during Kargil War, Has a New Identity after PM's Visit | date=3 July 2020 }}
