On September 9, 2026, he traveled from New Delhi to Chandigarh via the Shatabdi Express, following Prime Minister Anthony Albanese's advice that rail travel offers insights into regional economic opportunities and local interactions. As the latest Delhi-based foreign envoy to visit Ladakh, Green's expedition included a visit to the Nubra Valley, where he experienced the region's distinctive tradition of riding Bactrian camels, animals adapted to the cold desert climate. These humped camels, primarily found in Ladakh's Nubra Valley, are commonly used as pack animals and have become popular attractions for tourists. On September 23, 2026, the day after his arrival, Green shared his itinerary on social media, detailing his trek to the Lasermo La pass, a 5,400-meter-high pass, in the Ladakh Himalaya. He thanked India for the opportunity, emphasizing the significance of these visits in fostering a deeper understanding of Ladakh's diverse culture and environment.",
