Ladakh is a region in northern India famed for its stunning Himalayan scenery. It's a Buddhist kingdom that sits in between China and Pakistan, its name in the local language means 'land of high passes'. Ladakh, a region that is governed by the autonomous province of Jammu & Kashmir, is quite unique from the rest of India - it mainly practices Tibetan Buddhism, has its own dialect and the people look more akin to Tibetans and Nepalese.
This video is my journey to Ladakh on behalf of a charity which I co-founded called Sight to Sky that focuses on eye care.
------------------------------------------------
Sight to Sky's goals are to bring primary healthcare, eye care and health education to remote and communities in the Himalayas. These areas are not necessarily poor per se, but because of their isolation and neglect from their local governments these people lack access to quality healthcare. STS is based in Singapore.
