For a first-time visitor to Ladakh, India’s northernmost region, it is easy to get caught up in the beautiful scenery. The stark mountains and blue skies are enough to take your breath away. But there is so much more to this land than just its dramatic landscapes. The region is known for its ladhakhi cuisine; you’ll find that in every corner of Ladakh. Many different religions get represented here, from Buddhist monasteries to Hindu temples. The people are equally diverse, with Ladakhis having Mongolian ancestry and Tibetan and Pakistani influences.
