If you're seeking for somewhere to visit and activities to do this summer, go no farther than Nubra Valley in Ladakh, which is home to the majestic Siachen glacier.
On June 5, 2022, the sixth edition of the Siachen Folk Festival will take place at the Chamsen Polo Ground in Nubra.
Various cultural shows, traditional games such as archery, and a variety of traditional foods will be featured at the festival.
The Siachen Folk Festival was created to preserve the old silk route trade's tradition. It's an attempt to educate people about Ladakh's rich cultural history. A large number of guests, both domestic and international, attend the two-day festival.
Chamshen Pologround, the festival's location, isn't an average polo field. When this area was an important commercial route, it was used as a polo ground.
The festival is a vibrant and colourful event. Various organisations will perform cultural displays, songs, and dances. The classic archery sport has always attracted large crowds.
These activities are intended to teach the current generation about the beauty of their culture as well as the need of conserving old traditions and customs.
After the festival, you might want to take a look around the area. The Bactrian camel ride, also known as the double-humped camel ride, is said to be the best at this time.
