Its about Ladakh and the Himalayn culture...

a project initiated by Sonam Yangdol, to promote and share her native land, Ladakh and Himalayan culture with the occidental society.

NativeHimalaya is a private entreprise based in France, started with an objective to create a direct link between the rare culture of Ladakh and the Himalayas, with the occidental society.  We carry this project through different mediums and activities: media, tourism, exhibitions and conferences. 

We are  also marketing and promoting local arts and crafts from the region, particularly Ladakhi, Kashmiri and Tibetan arts. We collect all our products directly from the artist and the manufacturers to avoid any sort of intermediate. In Ladakh, our aim is to create a market for the local crafts, which at the moment is just limited to the area and is a developing sector.  In doing so we try to encourage the artist and associations of the region.

For the visitors to Ladakh and Zanskar, we arrange direct booking with the local tour operators in Ladakh. We also do marketing of our travel companies in ladakh and give travel consultancy to the tour operators and travel proffessionals in France. 

LADAKH AND THE HIMALAYA

Ladakh is a part of the state of Jammu and Kashmir, in the northen region of Indian Himalayas. At an altitudes ranging from about 2,750 meters to 7,500 meters, Ladakh marks the boundary between the peaks of western Himalaya and the vast Tibetan plateau. It is among the highest of the world's inhabited plateaus. Renowned for its remote mountain beauty, high passes and buddhist culture, Ladakh, today is a popular travel destination for adventure, spiritual and intellectual tourist worldwide.

The Himalayas, the highest mountain range in the world, extends along the northern frontiers of India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bhutan and Burma.  Of which  the northern range contains the three highest and greatest mountains on earth: at an altitude of about 8,800 meters, on the Tibet -Nepal border is the Mount Everest; K2 at 8,600 meters in an area claimed by India, Pakistan and China; and Kanchenjunga at 8,550 meters on the India-Nepal border. 

The Indian Himalayas contains some of the major montains all along the northern frontiers of the country, covering five Indian states - Jammu and Kashmir Himachal Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Sikkim and Arunachal Pradesh -- from west to east. A journey along these montain ranges takes you through some of the most amazing terrain and a fascinating culture.
