Highlights

Farming at 13,000 feet in Ladakh is a truly unique experience due to the region's extreme altitude and harsh environmental conditions. With only two to three months of the year suitable for seed sowing and irrigation, farmers must rely on traditional techniques that have been passed down through generations.


The high altitude requires precision and skill, as crops must be carefully tended to despite the limited growing season and lack of modern technology.


This remarkable feat of agriculture is a testament to the resilience of the locals, who have adapted to their challenging surroundings and continue to sustain life in one of the world’s most remote regions.
