People and Lifestyle in Leh
Leh is not only beautiful because of its breathtaking natural beauty but also the warmth and love of the people in Leh makes it beautiful. People, culture and lifestyle in Leh are quite diverse and has a rich variety which allures the tourists. Globalization has changed the lifestyle of all the cities and Leh is no different but still it has retained its unique charm and flavor.The people of Leh are hardy and tough akin to the rugged mountains which surround their dwellings yet very soft and plane at heart .With round faces, short noses, and chinki eyes they resemble more to the people of Tibet and central Asia than of India.
The original population is believed to have been that of Dards, an Indo-Aryan race from down the Indus. But over years, a huge influx from Tibet overwhelmed the culture of the "Dards" and obliterated their racial characteristics. Uniqueness in people, culture and lifestyle in Leh is visible in every sphere.
Religion and Culture
Leh is filled with colourful through its different culture. It has been the center of Tibeto-Buddhist Culture since long time. Its colorful gompas attract the devout Buddhists from far and away. Due to the majority of Buddhism Leh is also known as the Buddhist capital of North India. Buddhism reached Tibet from India via Leh, and there are ancient Buddhist frock engravings all over the region, even in areas like Drass and the lower Suru valley which today are inhabited by an exclusively Muslim population. The approach to a Buddhist Village is invariably marked by 'Mani' walls, which are ling chest-high structures faced with engraved stones bearing the Mantra "Om Mane Padme Hum" and by 'Chorten', commemorative cairns, like stone pepper-posts.
