Step into a world where ancient traditions bloom with apricot blossoms, and every village tells the story of a people distinct yet deeply rooted in Ladakh’s fabric.
Tucked away from the mainstream tourist routes, the Aryan Valley Belt—covering Dah, Hanoo, Skurbuchan, and Temisgam—is home to the Brokpa/Dard people, believed to be among the oldest inhabitants of Ladakh. With unique rituals, floral headgear, and deep agricultural wisdom, the Aryan Valley is not just a destination—it’s a living cultural archive.
Leh → Khaltse → Skurbuchan → Hanoo → Dah → Temisgam (or reverse)
Dah is considered the most prominent Brokpa village, where traditional attire, festivals, and rituals are still actively practiced.
Located upstream from Dah, Hanoo is quieter and more agriculturally focused.
Skurbuchan, the first major settlement from the Khaltse side, acts as the starting point for the Aryan Valley circuit.
Temisgam is often considered the transition point between the Sham Valley and Aryan Belt, making it ideal for overnight stays or cultural immersion.
