About the Event

This is a travel experience for those looking for a meaningful way of spending vacations, brought to you by the good folks at Little Local!


A Little Local travel experience is not just about gorgeous scenery and breathtaking nature, but getting involved with the community and giving back to them. You can look forward to workshops, learning traditional customs and handicraft, hands-on farming and cooking, and developing measurable community impact activities. Not to mention, experiencing local and authentic festivities, food and culture - in a manner that you can't experience anywhere else, no matter how fancy the resort! All the while, surrounded by gorgeous nature, truly off the regular tourist map.


About This Trip: Last Of The Aryans


This is the first Little Local workshop in this region! You will be visiting the Garkone village in Ladakh, where the local tribe is known as the Brokpa. Google won't help much, since very little is known or written about them. They live in the remote villages of Darchiks and Garkone and are said to be the direct descendants of the lost army of Alexander the Great. Some locals even claim that they are the ‘purest, surviving Aryan race’ or the ‘Master Race’.


Brokpa in Ladakhi literally means ‘people who live in the higher reaches of the mountains' (usually above village settlements). However, their historical background has always been surrounded by myths and controversies. Their fair complexion, deep brown eyes and sharp features give them a very distinct and different identity compared to other tribes living in Ladakh. Even their traditional attire is distinct with colorful floral hear gear and heavily ornamented dresses worn by the women folk. There are many legends surrounding this tribe and how they ended up in this part of the world. Our workshop will be an exploration of this theme, and a documentation of this fascinating village and tribe.
