Winters in Ladakh can be quite extreme. While they are harsh at times with the temperature dropping down to -20 degree celsius, they are also beautiful with frequent snowfall changing the surrounding landscapes to surreal views. At the same time, the lifestyle of people living in Ladakh is quite different as well as difficult compared to the plains. While modern development and technology has made life way easier, still it takes a lot of perseverance, patience and innovation to thrive and live in the extreme harsh temperatures while co-existing with nature.
The following vlog is a short home tour of our sweet little home in Ladakh where we are living in the city of Leh during Winters and experiencing simple living. We have always lived in the big cities in the plains of India where modern conveniences are available at our fingertips. Adapting to this new and modest life has taught us to appreciate the beauty and joy in small things which we often take for granted.

Awesome video guys… how old is Star and how difficult was it for him to adapt to the new extreme weather?

@TheSeekingSoul 2 жыл бұрын

Star will turn 5 soon and he adapted to the weather pretty quickly and easily despite being a Bangalore dog. We do take extra care through jackets (double at times) and blankets for him. At the same time what works in our favour is that he is a cross between a street dog and a Spitz making him extra furry and more resilient.

Amazing vlog. Hi Ankita, me and my family are planning a Leh trip in the month of May 2022. I see everyone says low oxygen in khardungla pass. Can you please share your insights in a small video. I get scared as I am bringing my parents too.

@TheSeekingSoul 2 жыл бұрын

Hey Pallawi, we will definitely plan a video on that. However, for now I m going to give you a few pointers on coming to Ladakh with your parents. So, yes some people find it difficult to breathe at the Khardung La but you don’t have to stay on the pass for a long time. Cross it quickly even if you wish to take pictures, do that and descend quickly. You can also take your parents for a check up and do inform the doc about your high altitude trip.. the doc will guide you about the medications that will ease your trip. Since you still have a few months.. make sure to do some breathing exercises/prayanam along with your parents. Also, would like to assure you that there are hospitals even in villages here that are equipped with O2 cylinders and primary care. So, don’t worry and all the best for your trip.. 😊

Entire Ladakh is quite beautiful starting from main cities of Leh and Kargil to remote villages where nature is found in much more abundance and tranquility. You can choose a place to stay basis proximity and distance as well as your personal preferences. Cities will generally be more convenient but crowded while villages may be a bit challenging but beautiful in terms of experience.
