Ladakh is often referred to as the Land of Lamas. The history of this region dates back thousands of years and has been enriched by travelers from around the world. This beautiful cold desert enjoys a rich heritage and culture, despite being located at an average altitude of 12,000 ft above sea level. Every year, locals gather at the central market of Leh to celebrate Ladakh's culture with a 3-day long spectacle of lifestyle, mythology, and history. Clad in traditional robes and stone studded head gears, the participants of the Ladakh Festival breathe life back into their ancient legacy. Hundreds of tourists travel across the world to witness and be a part of this enchanting experience.
