In an area of 95.000 sqm are living the nomadic minority tribes of Dras (Drokpas) and Da-Hanu (Dukpas) belonging to the Aryan race, tibetans of Tsomoriri (Changpas) and the Ladakhies, who preserve their autochthonous culture in a natural way of impressive aridity.
We propose a fascinating mosaic of ethnic communities, where the past comes alive
- Conscience and Sustainability. A unique blend of survival
- Modus vivendi and Ecosystem
Rich Cultural background makes Ladakh interesting land for the lovers of art, culture and civilization. Abundant Monasteries, centuries old towns and markets, roots and remains of age old religions like Buddhism make it a mystic land to explore.
Abundant ancient monasteries makes Ladakh an ideal ground for pilgrimage journeys to these age-old pillars of Tibetan Buddhism. It is also a region where ancient trade caravans once passed through on their way to the teeming markets of Central Asia. Numerous monasteries lie within easy driving distance from Leh while others are more remote and require a few days to reach.
Each region and almost each village in Ladakh has its own monastery. Home to student monks and nuns many of these edifices stand on rugged mountain sides high above the valley floor and provide religious sustenance to the local populace strengthening their beliefs and traditions. All our pilgrimage journeys are undertaken by Jeeps that provide easy access even to remote areas. We offer four selective pilgrimage journeys that very much take in the major accessible monasteries and the villages that once hosted traders of the fabled silk route.
Friendly and extremely hospitable; a natural joie-de-vivre; ancient traditions; wizened monks; ancient famous monasteries; Tibetan form of Buddhism; socio-religious festivals; fertile fields ripening for harvest; Archery; Polo; dance and song. This is what Ladakh's culture is all about.
There are the ancient pure Aryan race of Drok pa, a small colourful community; the cheerful and hardy Changpa nomads with their herds of Yak, goat and sheep. Ladakh is rich in culture and our tours take you to experience this wide diversity of ethnic wealth.
Ladakh is the repository of ancient cultural heritage. It is the only place in the world where Tantrayans Buddhism is practised as a way of life. People of this region are deeply drenched in music, dance and drama which embody religious fervour. Ladakhi songs and dances are simple in thought, content and performance to. Ladakhi dances reveal the simple and noble nature of the Ladakhi people. Song and drama both are the means towards salvation.
LADAKH; Part of India’s northern most state of Jammu and Kashmir is a land that abounds in awesome physical features set in an enormous landscape. The land is bounded by two of the worlds mightiest mountain ranges 'THE GREAT HIMALAYAS' and 'THE KARAKORAM'.
Ladakh has imbibed diverse ethnic, religious and cultural influence through the many missionaries, explorers and traders who traversed its windswept plateaus and deep valleys. In the process it has been able to evolve and inherit a rich culture, which survives even today as a living heritage of the western Himalayas.
