An Women's Alliance Host Ladakh Food Festival
The food fest that lasted for two days (August 13 to 14) was a big draw. People from far off regions arrived here to relish the local delicacies.
According to Helena Norberg Hodge, founder of Women Alliance, the main reason behind organising this festival had two objectives.
Firstly, it infused confidence among the Ladakhi women. Secondly, it was to let them be aware of possessing commendable culinary skills which, coupled with their knowledge of rich cultural heritage, could boost tourism in the region.
The food fest has been an annual feature for the past 15 years. It fascinates a big number of tourists from different parts of the country and world.
Helena said: "Organising the festival like this definitely creates a greater appreciation for Ladakhi culture. People want to see the local culture, that's why they come here."
About a thousand tourists visited the Ladakh Food Festival this year. Besides, the festival also offered tourists an opportunity to understand the links that Ladakh culture has with various societies in Central Asia and how Buddhism was routed to Tibet through this region.
