Ladakh Hamlets

The rugged landscape of Ladakh is strewn with the oases of its many hamlets. These inviting patches of green light up this otherwise stark, barren land and are the source of the Ladakhi way of life and the keepers of its ancient traditions. Walk through these little havens along their shaded paths, through the mud-bricked lanes lined with poplar trees. Learn the importance of the waterways around which these hamlets spring up and which are their very life blood. Meet the local inhabitants and the ‘Goba’, the village head. Experience the daily life of these simple yet hardy folk of this last Shangri-La.
