Local Food & Culinary Experience

Local Food & Culinary Experience

Ladakhi cuisine is shaped by altitude, climate, and centuries of Silk Route influence. Butter tea, thukpa soup, yak momos, skyu stew, and apricot jam from Nubra — these are home-cooked traditions. Our culinary experiences take you into local kitchens where you eat what Ladakhis eat.

Cook with a family. Eat what you made. Take the recipes home.
