Growing up in the Sham Valley of Ladakh during the onset of rapid socio-cultural and economic changes in Ladakh, we observed our loved ones struggle to make a living from agriculture. For a region ingrained in subsistence farming, this change felt too fast to catch up with. Years passed and the situation of Ladakhi farmers kept deteriorating. This led to the need for Ladakh Orchards: a dedicated platform to take pride in our agricultural traditions and help our farmers take their produce within and beyond the mighty Himalayas for reliable income and better livelihood.
Ladakh Orchards is a social enterprise to promote agricultural practices and products of Ladakh, in the remote roof of the Indian Himalayas.
