My recent study tour to Ladakh was one of the most amazing journeys that I’ve ever embarked on. For me it was like living my dream, the dream of being in Tibet that I’ve been deprived of since my birth. I was thrilled to see mountains hiding behind each other like a newly wedded bride and the rivers and streams so serene and uncontaminated. The fluttering colorful Buddhist flags seemed to be singing a welcoming song and the red cheeked people in their traditional Ladakhi dress reminded me of my people in Tibet.
Moreover, the best part was the presence and the teaching of the His Holiness the Dalai Lama, which boosted my self-exploration and uplifted my spirituality.The meetings with inspiring people, like Helena from Ladakhi Women’s Alliance, Becky of SECMOL and Sonam of Zomsa Eco-Shop, have left a footprint within me to stretch my own personal boundaries and to be more responsible towards the nature and society we live in. Overall, this trip has been very inspiring and so much fun that while leaving Ladakh I closed my eyes and said “I promise to come back to you and experience all the wonders that you provide to make me feel at home.”
