A long hike means the best possible vistas and sceneries.
A hike to reach an untouched meadow, cycle down a rustic valley or summit a stunning peak, walk on the frozen river, attend a 6 AM morning prayer that has been continuously performed for over 500 years in the same manner. The possibilities here are endless throughout the changing seasons.
A hikers dream right outside our hotel, this area is where in the past our ancestors would graze the cattle during the summer months when fields would be harvested. You can see the ‘Doksa”, small huts where people would live for the summer months.
Known as Kharyog locally it was once the melting pot and continues to host families and establishments till date. The 9 storied Leh Palace (Lehchen Palkhar) dominates the view but today the alleys are filled with little pieces of history of past architecture, current conservation efforts as well as many sites related to the old silk route.
Move along a few of more than 700 documented rock art sites of Ladakh along the sindhu that are a living embodiment of something lost in time but intriguing all the more. A visible imprint and a time capsule to the earliest inhabitants here and an invaluable heritage of this region.
