Things to do in Ladakh

Experience the real hospitality

Mostly all the hotels in Leh are closed during the winters, therefore, you have to stay at homestays, which are traditional Ladakhi homes. You will get food cooked by the local family members and taste the delicious Ladakhi meals - kahwa, tukhpa and noodles. 

Transport yourself to the ice age setup

Take a walk in the BongBong La Snow Valley and you will transport yourself to the ice age. Everything is frozen, from the valleys, mountains, rivers to the vegetation. If you are covered with five layers of warm clothing then there is no greater sight to view Ladakh in winter. Explore the area with small groups and a local guide.
