Launching the Rising Sun Circuit - Arunachal Pradesh

This Army Day, January 15, 2025, we’re proud to launch the Rising Sun Circuit, a journey to India’s easternmost frontier where adventure, history, and culture meet.

Why “Rising Sun”?
Experience India’s first sunrise at D**g, a hidden gem nestled in the mountains. A short hike takes you to the valley where the first rays of the sun light up the nation—a view you’ll never forget.

What’s Kaho and Meyor?
🏠 Stay with the warm and welcoming locals of Kaho, India’s first village, and connect with the Meyor tribe, one of the last remaining communities preserving their unique traditions.

🛡️ Step into history at Walong, where tales of courage from the 1962 Indo-Sino War still echo through the valleys.

🌊 Drive along the stunning Lohit River, soaking in the breathtaking views and serene landscapes of Arunachal Pradesh.

This is more than a trip. It’s a celebration of India’s border villages and their sentinels, the incredible people who call these remote regions home.

Ready for the adventure of a lifetime? Discover the Rising Sun Circuit and let the journey inspire you.

When you visit Ladakh, you don't just explore its breathtaking landscapes—you also connect with its rich heritage and timeless traditions. One such tradition is the art of Pashmina handicrafts, delicate yet elegant creations that are more than just souvenirs—they're pieces of Ladakh's soul.

We are proud to share that local women of Ladakh, trained in this intricate craft, are now bringing their masterpieces to the world. Each product tells a story—a story of resilience, tradition, and the delicate hands that transformed soft Pashmina into exquisite mufflers, neck warmers, caps, socks, and more.

Our store in Leh is more than a shop; it's a window into the culture and folklore of Ladakh. Alongside these handcrafted treasures, you'll find books and artifacts that narrate the heritage of this land.

Thankas, also spelled Thangkas, are traditional Buddhist scroll paintings that depict deities, mandalas, or religious stories. These intricate artworks are not just decorative but hold deep spiritual significance, often used as meditation tools or teaching aids in monasteries. Painted on cotton or silk, Thankas are rich in detail, vibrant in color, and a true reflection of Himalayan art and culture.

At Domkhar Homestay, our host is a passionate Thangka painter, inviting guests to immerse themselves in the vibrant colors of Thangka workshops.

Winters here also bring a serene charm, unveiling hidden hiking trails in the tranquil Sham Valley. Wake up to majestic mountain views, sip on hot tea, and explore the wilderness of this picturesque village and join us for an unforgettable experience of creating murals and paintings that reflect the soul of Ladakh!

Our Story

We offer unique travelling experiences at rural and remote parts of Himalayas. We have set up homestays at beautiful and exotic locations. The villages were first electrified by us for our mission of providing energy access to all. The homestays are the second phase of the development for the communities.

When a tourist visits the homestays or joins us for a thematic experience. He/she not only contributes to the homestay owner but also to the village committee. A part of the income generated goes to the development of the village. Another part goes to the village coordinator in terms of salary or commission.
