Culinary experience with a local family

Visit a local family for a cooking demonstration or hands-on culinary experience. Ladakhi cuisine is a true reflection of the region’s rich cultural heritage. The limited resources in the Higher Himalayas have inspired ingenious culinary methods, resulting in hearty and flavourful dishes. The cuisine draws from the indigenous ingredients available in the challenging terrain. The food nourishes the body and encapsulates the spirit of the Ladakhi people, giving each meal a glimpse into their way of life.
