Isn’t it fascinating, how in the same country, we have such cultural plurality! Having the same origin, yet our ways of life, our food, our traditions are so different; We are so different! India is adorned with its diversity and same goes for Ladakh.
Ladakh is home to several unique indigenous ethnic groups, who have their unique traditions, ways of life, food habits, residing patterns, religious beliefs, customs and social patterns. The geographical distinction plays a major part but it is interesting to experience how these age-old traditions are still thriving in the modern world.
The Cultural Tours by Ladakh Photo Tours is an exceptional tour package that provides you an opportunity to experience the diverse culture of Ladakh. You get to meet and interact with the local indigenous communities, visit monasteries and experience local cultural arts. If you are lucky, you might just attend the local affairs and experience how enriching their traditions are. Local experts are also invited to share their views on local culture and traditions.
NOTE - If the situation worsens because of the 3rd wave of covid and we think its not safe for us to travel during those times , we will refund the entire fees of the trip.
