Well friends i am writing on this blog after a long time.Friends people usually visit Ladakh during summer season mostly,but i want to tell you people that Ladakh is also amazing to visit during the winter also.I am sure you gonna like it .During winter Ladakhi people have quite ample time to relax after a hard summer working season.It is during winter most of the marriages takes place and you will get a chance to see some local Ladakhi weddings.It is also time to celebrate Losar (Ladakhi New year) which come in the winter.On the eve of Losar their is a lot of celebration and people go to meet relative friends for greetings.There are many other traditional festivals which comes during the winter.
The game of ice hockey is also very popular sport here,so you can get the chance to see some exciting matches. Number of tournament are organized in which people take participation with great interest your visit will definitely make the game develop in a much bigger way.One of the good news is that the government is building a new ice hockey stadium which would be completed in short time hopefully.This will boost the game on a very large scale.
Winter is also time to play some traditional games like archery and polo etc.In ladakh polo is almost played with great love.We have a long association with this game.The Indian Army is playing a great role in keeping this traditional game alive in Ladakh. But one sad thing is that the youth of Ladakh is not taking interest in these tradional games.The Balti People of Ladakh have given some of the finniest player to Ladakh,many of the balti peole play the game for Army teams.The polo is played in various places like Kargil, Drass, Leh polo ground, Chuchot etc.People here love this game.The game of archery is also very popular among the local people.
In each Village the game is played by the local in a festive manner.
Hope you would love to see some amazing thing in Ladakh during this winter season.
wel come all.
Ju-lay
