The Ladakh Festival takes place every September. It is a harvest festival where there are dance programs, music performances, colourful clothes and a celebration of life. What’s more, visitors can expect to taste a lot of delicious food during this festival as well. Processions and dances take place in the narrow lanes and people join in with a great deal of enthusiasm.
Locals dress in traditional attires and the sight is a spectacular riot of colours. This is a joyous occasion and there are some splendid dances like the yak and lion dances. During this festival, there are several craft exhibitions and a chance to taste the locally brewed barley beer called chang. The procession usually ends at the polo ground and could well go on to become a music concert. There are also archery competitions and polo matches that take place here during this time. These attract a lot of people who come to watch. This festival continues over a period of two weeks.
