 2. Khambir- Khambir is a Ladakhi bread that is mainly consumed at breakfast alongside butter tea. This thick crust fermented whole wheat bread is the most common local dish that one simply cannot miss out on.

 3. Chhutagi- It’s a traditional pasta-shaped flour cooked with local vegetables also known as dumpling soups. This interesting dish comes off as the most popular and loved one amongst the locals since it is a nutrients rich dish in itself and can be eaten at lunch or dinner.

4. Sku- Another Ladakhi savory that resembles just like its name. Similar to Chutagi, this stew-based dish is a staple amongst Ladakhis. Prepared with wheat dough kneaded into flattened balls with favorable vegetables like peas, carrot, potato, or mutton (for non-veg lovers).  A visit to Ladakh would be strenuous if you don’t give yourself up to this cold-relieving meal considering its warmth-providing ingredients.

5. Tingmo- Tingmo is a steamed Tibetan bun that is well-liked by the locals as well as the tourists. Prepared using wheat flour, yeast mixed with onion and garlic, this favorite tea-time snack is easily found on the streets of Ladakh package and can be enjoyed at Breakfast, Lunch, or Dinner.

KEDARKANTHA TREK Blog – Everything you should know before going

KEDARKANTHA TREK - THE THINGS THAT YOU MUST KNOW ABOUT This Snow Himalayan Trek Kedarkantha Trek! I feel goosebumps and butterflies just thinking about the name. After much thought, I decided to embark on my first Snow Himalayan Trek. It was my 50th birthday gift. I never imagined that one day I would trek up the Himalayas. The Himalayas are more than just snow-capped mountains. They are also a place that evokes emotions. The trek was memorable because it took place at 12,500 feet above sea level. It was a beautiful journey through pine forests and breathtaking views of the Himalayan range. A layer of white snow made the trip even more special.It was something I had always hoped for, but it never came true. Just recently, I returned from a snow family vacation in Himachal Pradesh. I booked the Kedarkantha Trek without doing any research. I was able to see the videos and read a few blogs, but the Kedarkantha Trek was beyond my imagination. The 360-degree view of the snow-capped Himalayas and tall green Pine trees, snowy ascending tracks, a row of trekkers in colorful jerseys carrying their luggage, the tok-tok sound made by ponies, streams flowing through rocks with cold water, even though there was so much greenery, everything looked like a black-and-white painted landscape of a hilly area.Story of KedarkanthaKedarkantha is sometimes mistaken for Kedarnath. Talking to locals, I learned about the popular Kedarkantha story. It is a must-read for all those who want to trek Kedarkantha. Kedarkantha is the name of the place where Lord Shiva's throat (or throat) can be found. Locals believe that Lord Shiva meditated here before heading towards Kedarnath. Trek to KedarkanthaMany blogs and vlogs are available on Kedarkantha Trek, giving all the details. The trek's difficulty was a major concern of mine. The difficulty level of the trek is subjective. A great trek for beginners to kedarkantha. However, most blogs claim it to be easy. It is recommended that you have previous trekking experience. Kedarkantha, at 12500ft above sea level, is a great Himalayan Trek for beginners.Trek RouteDay 1: Dehradun to Sankri VillageThe base camp for the Kedarkantha trek is Sankri, which is approximately an 8-10 hours drive from Dehradun. After having breakfast, tea, coffee, lunch, and bio breaks, we left Dehradun at 8 a.m. We arrived in Sankri by 6 p.m. You will see the River Yamuna running through the route, bright, happy mustard fields, twists, turns, and tall pine trees as you travel. You will feel the majestic Himalayas from the route. We stopped in the middle a few times to have lunch and spent some time on the river banks. We felt like children again as we soaked our feet in the river.Sankri is a small village that grows crops for local consumption. It is located at 6000 feet above sea level and serves as the base camp for Kedarkantha Trek.SankriDay 2: Trek from Sankri, Juda ka TalaabSankri, at 6000 feet above sea level, is the starting point of the trek. After a healthy breakfast, we started our trek from Sankri at 10. The weather was pleasant, but it was sunny.The climb to Juda Ka Talaab's base camp was easy, thanks to the deodar and pine forest, muddy trails and breathtaking views of snow-clad mountains.Frozen lake, also known as Juda ka Talab, was 2700m high. It left us speechless. Juda ka Talab is surrounded by thick layers of snow and tall pine trees. This makes it a great place to take photos. Juda ka Talab is located approximately kilometers from our base camp. To reach the base camp, it took us approximately 5 hours and 5 km. We reached the base camp at 3:00 p.m. and were starving to the core. We were advised to rest and adjust to the snow and temperature. On the second day, we saw Juda Ka Talab while hiking up towards Kedarkantha Base campsite.After a hearty and filling meal, we explored the area and took pictures. Although we were exhausted at the end, we were excited to get up the next morning.It was extremely cold that night. Although it was impossible to determine the temperature, it felt like -10°C. The tent accommodation was twin/triple sharing. We had to cover ourselves with two blankets, even though they had provided them.At Juda Ka Talab campsiteDay 3 Juda ka Talaab - Kedarkantha Base CampAfter breakfast, we started our trek the next day at 9 a.m. from Juda ka Talab Base Camp. Juda ka Talab could be found just a kilometer from the base campsite towards Kedarkantha Base campsite. The trek became very difficult because it was sunny. The route becomes slippery and slushy when the sun shines. It was difficult for some of the trekkers to get their gaiters and spikes. As a result, they fell a few times.The surrounding scenery was stunning with its majestic mountains, deep snow, freshwater streams, and not-so-green tree. It was visually stunning, even though it looked all black and white. This is the most difficult point for first-timers, as it becomes steeper and more exhausting. As we got closer to the base campsite, the trek became more enjoyable. It was both a mixture of excitement and nervousness. I thought a lot about whether I would be able to do it. I also wondered if my lungs could support me (asthmatic), if my knees could support me (first snow trek at 50, no joke) and many other things. It was only 5km, and we were almost at the Kedarkantha Base campsite. It was 4 p.m. Even though we were exhausted, there was still enough light to take photos. Three times we were energized by the first glimpse of Kedarkantha Peak. The temperature began to drop. The tents were placed on the snow.Because the dinner was early, we were not allowed to take a break. So we sat around and played games, danced, sang, and did everything possible. We all got to know each other by then and started building our morale for the summit.The guides gave us a briefing about the summit trek while we ate dinner.Takeaway
