Episode 15: Women in Tourism creating impact in Ladakh Community

In Episode 15, Season 2 of Brewing Travel shots the host Zinal Doshi is conversing with Rigzin Lachic, the daughter of a serving Indian Air Force officer from Ladakh, had barely lived there. Education and vocation had taken her from Ladakh to the cold climes of Ooty, Japan and eventually Delhi. After working for a South Delhi-based startup for two years, she moved back to Leh in 2017 wanting to start a sustainable boutique resort in her grandmother’s orchard. Eventually, Lachic and her team found a group of women weavers, who used hand-picked and hand spun wool from Changthang (a high-altitude plateau in southeastern Ladakh famous for its pristine lakes and pashmina) to weave carpets.

Founder : Hatti Ladakh Shop |Vice President - All Ladakh Hotel and Guest House Association |
Dolkhar Ladakh - An upcoming boutique stay that aims to preserve and promote Ladakh's history and tradition through art, architecture and food. | Founder : Tsas, translates to ‘a kitchen garden’ in the Ladakhi language - A hyper-local, plant based restaurant set in an apple and apricot orchard within an upcoming luxury boutique stay, Dolkhar, in Leh, Ladakh.

Founder : Hatti Ladakh Shop : That’s where the idea for the ‘Hatti’ (which means shop in local parlance) initiative—a shop where these traditional artisans can sell their goods to both locals and tourists—came into being.

“Ladakh’s craftsmanship is a perfect reflection of our cultural heritage. Most art and craft serve the needs of local people. Understanding why these products were made only makes us realise how much thought went into creating and then eventually using these things in our daily life

Rigzin's advice for everyone who wants to visit Ladakh:

1) Research well more on the culture than the scenic value of Ladakh.

2) Expand your horizon as a traveler.
