  • Ladakh is great to visit any time of the year, and more so when any of its Buddhist festivals are taking place. Each of them are worth attending – from the big ones at Hemis monastery to the lesser known ones. Here is a calendar for the years 2020 – 22 so you can plan trips around these. But do confirm the dates again before making plans – information can sometimes be unreliable or schedules may change.
