| Description |
Hamoursa Tea tent & Campsite in Nakdi, between Skyu and Sara, Markha Valley trek, Ladakh People of Western Ladakh Though earlier Tibetan contact had left a profound influence upon the people of both Kargil and Leh, however; after the spread of Shia Islam, the people of Western Ladakh came under heavy influence of Persian culture. Among the two districts of Ladakh, Kargil has a more mixed ethnic population and thus there are more regional dialects spoken there as compared to Leh. Local folk songs and Balti ghazals are still quite popular. The Indo-Aryan Mons from across the Great Himalayan Range, the Dards from the Gilgit Valley and the nomads from the Tibetan highlands came to settle here forming a culture and tradition which is unique in its own way. Dards/Drogpas The Dards are the linguistic descendants of the bearers of proto Rigvedic culture (1700 BC). They came to Ladakh from the lap of the Hindukush mountains. The Dards of Dras, Kargil and Suru Valley converted to Islam about 200 years ago while those settled in the villages of Dah-Hanu, Darchik, and Gorkon about 150 km northeast of Kargil, are still Buddhists. The Dards have fiercely guarded their cultural identity and they do not marry outside their community. The main occupation of these people is animal husbandry and agriculture. Demography. (2018).
