The 6 Best Specialty Museums in Ladakh, Jammu and Kashmir
Bounded by the Karakoram and Himalayan mountains, Ladhak is the largest province in the state of Jammu and Kashmir. The landscape of Ladhak, a high altitude desert, is defined by craggy, barren cliffs and plateaus. Ladhak is a favorite among adventure sports enthusiasts, offering unique adventures in trekking, mountaineering and white water rafting. While rafting options are available on both Indus and Zanskar rivers, the Zanskar course is more difficult and exciting. The trekking options range from short, day-long walks to visit monuments or monastic settlements to long, trans-mountain treks involving weeks of walking and camping in the wilderness. Ladhak celebrates a numbers of monastic festivals - annual events of the major monasteries primarily in winters. The month of September, hosts the Ladhak Festival, that gives a peek into the richness, depth and pageantry of Ladakh's centuries-old culture, traditions and folk heritage. One can witness the best samples of the region's performing arts, Archery contests and the Ladhak Polo Cup.

The Balti Heritage Home in Turtuk is one of the heritage homes where several generations have lived for centuries. It’s built in an old style with low-height roofs, very small windows to avoid cold air coming in during winters and storage rooms in the basement. You can see several arms, dishes, royal gifts, dresses, furs dating 400 years back inside the house. The entrance cost to the museum is 50 rupees. There are four small rooms which you can explore in ten minutes. Nevertheless, there is an extra value if any of the family members can explain to you what you see. There are presents from kings of the land, some old technology of cooking and several other interesting facts. The Balti Heritage Home is in the upper part of the village. There is a rooftop restaurant where you can try Balti cuisine.
