HCHF, with the Tribal Research Institute, Ladakh, celebrated Mamani at TFC Kargil, showcasing Ladakh’s tribal heritage, traditional knowledge, and indigenous food practices. The event strengthened community pride and highlighted the need to safeguard Ladakh’s living heritage

Reviving, preserving, and promoting the intangible heritage of mountain communities through festivals. Mamani Festival has successfully revived more than thirty varieties of traditional ethnic foods, safeguarding culinary knowledge rooted in local ecology, climate, and culture.

Tragedy at Sela Lake is a stark reminder that mountains are beautiful, but unforgiving. Please respect nature, avoid off-roading, heed weather advisories, and listen to local guidance. One wrong step can cost a life. Travel responsibly. #respectnature #SelaLake #himalaya #nature

⸻ Autumn lingers in Ladakh. Kargil, the land of rich culture, warm hearts, and timeless beauty draped in the golden hues of fall. 🍂 Mountains whisper stories, and the Indus glows under the amber light of the season. #HeritageHimalayaTrails #IncredibleLadakh #kargil #ladakh

@safiakhan71 Kargil is alway beautiful

Autumn in Kargil is a breathtaking experience. The Suru Valley transforms into a mosaic of gold, amber and crimson against a backdrop of stark brown mountains and snow tipped peaks. 🍂

I wish everyone a very happy and bright Diwali. As you light your lamps, may a ray of that light reach our mountains and help dispel the darkness that fell on Ladakh on 24 Sept 2025 and bring healing to every heart with hope, strength, and peace🙏 #ladakh

The most beautiful place, people and nature #Ladakh

The Lotsava Rinchen Zangpo tradition of the Mandala Stupa has stood tall for a thousand years, silently witnessing every chapter of Ladakh’s history. Today, in this time of uncertainty, Ladakh needs its blessings more than ever. 🙏 #Ladakh

Constitutional safeguard for Ladakh is not just for Ladakh alone, it is for the entire Himalayan belt that shares a unique and shared cultural and natural heritage, and a timeless mountain legacy. #safeguardforLadakh #standwithLadakh #ladakh #savehimalaya #heritagehimalaya

A week has passed since our innocent, hopeful youth were shot—four martyred, many injured. Ladakh is wounded, heartbroken, and shattered by this nightmare. #JusticeForLadakh #JusticeForMartyrs #JusticeForInnocents #StandWithLadakh

The tragic 24th Sept incident in Ladakh, taking innocent young lives and injuring many, feels like a nightmare. Prayers for the departed, strength to their families, and speedy recovery to the injured. May peace return soon. #Ladakh #StandWithLadakh #safeguardforladakh
