Takthok Monastery:
The spiritual heart of Sakti, this monastery features a meditation cave believed to have been used by Guru Padmasambhava. The annual Takthok Tsechu festival, held in summer, draws locals and visitors alike for vibrant masked dances and spiritual blessings.
Village Walks:
Wander through quiet footpaths that snake between traditional Ladakhi homes, barley fields, and willow groves. It’s common to see women weaving wool or tending livestock, offering a glimpse into age-old ways of living.
Local Hospitality:
Many homes now open their doors as simple homestays. Sharing a meal with a local family — usually thukpa (noodle soup), skyu (pasta stew), or tsampa (roasted barley flour) — is a heartfelt way to experience Ladakhi warmth.
Agricultural Life:
Sakti’s rhythm follows the seasons. In spring and summer, fields come alive with planting and harvest. If you visit during this time, you can witness communal farming activities — a unique tradition in Ladakh’s cooperative rural culture.
