Best food in Ladakh
Jullay!!! Centuries ago, conquerors, traders, explorers, seekers and hustlers, all marched through Ladakh, on the Silk route-weaving a story of our land, leaving behind traces of their culture and home infusing our humble bowls.
Our magnanimous landscapes, deserts, plateaus and the extremely harsh winters, further shaped our cuisine. The prolonged winters of Leh allows us to farm only for four months, from May to August. So our ancestors had to set out for aging for vitamin-rich wild berries, herbs, shrubs and spices. With labour, love, care and humility, Our mother sen riched our lives weaving tales of our land-allin to a bowl.
For centuries, all of this remained hidden in the confined so four kitchens, mother’s hearts, and of course our Ladakhi bellies.
