Khalsi, Leh Ladakh, Ladakh

- Description

A village that's almost 900 years old- Linghsed is home to one of the oldest and most culturally rich monasteries of the same name, this village has mostly been remote from civilization. To give you an idea- the village didn't have electricity until the last year. The Students' Educational and Cultural Movement of Ladakh (SECMOL) was founded in 1988 by a group of Ladakhi college students who felt that the education system needed great change. For many years, SECMOL worked on reforming the government school system. At the same time, SECMOL Campus grows into an eco-village where students, staff, and volunteers live, work and learn together. It's not a conventional school, but a place to pursue practical, environmental, social, and traditional knowledge, values, and skills. The Campus is solar-powered and solar-heated; students leam ancient Ladakhi songs, dance, and history. Nearest Airport Kushok Bakula Rimpochee Airport, Leh.
