Tour highlights
The Ladakh Festival is a major event organized every year by the Kashmir and Jammu Tourism Department in collaboration with the local communities and the district government administrations. The festival begins with a spectacular procession in which various cultural troupes and village contingents participate in full ceremonial costumes, singing and performing various types of colorful dances to the tune of the traditional orchestra. Thousands of traditionally attired men and women line the route of the procession, adding to the carnival atmosphere. At the polo ground, where the procession terminates, the participants break into a variety of folk and popular dances, presenting the best samples of the region's performing arts. Among the regular programs, including a fortnight of musical concerts, lama dances and folk ceremonies, the most colorful and exciting are the archery events. Designed with an objective to revive and promote the richness, depth and pageantry of Ladakh's centuries-old culture for worldwide appreciation and enjoyment, the Ladakh Festival offers a unique opportunity to witness many of Ladakh’s traditions and folk heritage in a very short time and without having to traverse to its often formidable outlying areas. Our tour brings you to experience the best of it. Our tour's daily program is not finalized until Kashmir and Jammu Tourism Department publishes the schedule of events, released usually about two weeks before the start of the festival, but all of the activities take place in and around Leh.

 

Itinerary:

The Kashmir and Jammu Tourist department does not finalize the festival schedule of events until about one month before the festival. We can customize your itinerary once we know the schedule. Our tour package accounts for different program alternatives, all of which have you return back to your Leh hotel every night.
