KARGIL, known for the heroic feats of Indian soldiers during the Kargil War of 1999, is a testament to courage and resilience in the unforgiving mountain ranges. However, this captivating district offers more than just tales of valour; it is home to breathtaking landscapes, rich cultural heritage and a lifestyle grounded in simplicity and community ethics.
Nestled in the Drass district lies the enchanting Aryan Valley, a hidden haven made up of five small villages named after their inhabitants—the Aryans. This valley, protected by law, has preserved its unique culture and way of life. The Aryans, primarily Buddhist, embody a calm and zen-like existence, rooted in traditions of farming and trading. Here, amidst the picturesque backdrop of mulberry trees and rugged mountains, you'll discover luxurious homestays that blend adventure with comfort.
