Ecotourism
Focus on community-led homestays, conservation partnerships, and sustainable rural development to protect the fragile Himalayan ecosystem.
Our beginning
A practical vision for a changing Ladakh.
In 1991, LEHO's founders saw a region in transition — farming practices, food habits, and social values were all shifting, and with them, Ladakh's ecological and cultural fabric. LEHO was formed to meet that moment: sustainable development built on Ladakh's own traditional wisdom and community strength, not borrowed solutions.
