Ladies' Ladakh tour seems to have formed both in the minds and on the site.
Long thought how to announce this tour, advertising phrases - do not want to, it was painfully long and in detail this program was born, you can say you have suffered.
Next year will be my 10th season in Small Tibet, I've been here since 2009.
And these years, spent in the lands of the promised, have changed me greatly.
No, it was not Buddhist practices, not teachings, not puja in monasteries, not communication with lamas that changed me, although - yes, they certainly imposed a proper imprint.
I was changed by ordinary everyday life among ladakhi, communication in my Ladakh family, communication in family of friends.
It's very similar to how you fall into the field with completely different vibrations - and gradually you start to vibrate-sound the same.
It was a long road of change - the culture of Ladakh (formerly Western Tibet) is very different from Europe.
This road continues to go, and now.
Why tour female?
Because it's really made for women:
I want to share the experience of the centuries-old culture of the soft Ladakh matriarchy, in which women in the conditions of a heavy mountainous landscape are exactly Women, just like the Great Letter, in every sense of the word.
Just the facts:
- in Ladakh there are no divorces, well, not from the word "absolutely", weddings are played very consciously once and for life,
- there are no unmarried women in Ladakh, there are widows, but they also often marry,
- in Ladakh women are happy in their families, and even if difficult times come they can quickly get out of any negative situations, here the norm is a calm and mildly happy family condition,
_ In Ladakh, husband and wife manage to be all their lives not only spouses, but also close friends - this is the natural norm of life,
- in Ladakh do not drink alcohol, only chang (Tibetan vodka) and that in scanty medicinal purposes,
- in Ladakh, a woman identifies, creates a man - it's awesome, incredible - I, by the way, am watching this last year in the family of my close friends - on September 23, 2016, Sonam married Kakar when I saw him the next year - honestly - stunned: smart, healthy, bad habits - oh, zero, business abruptly advanced, the energy of the sea, I still thought - what resource did Kakar give him,
- in Ladakh, by the way, there are no orphanages and orphans, and about abortions here in general are not very well aware,
- In Ladakh, women who do not have hot water, boutiques, SPA-parlors and gyms are absent in the house, as well as manicure pedicures, etc., the altitude is 3600 m in Leh, further higher, nomads generally live in tents all the year round , and so, without this all - the women here are very beautiful.
- in Ladakh a very different old age: 90-year-old grandmothers climb into haystacks with hay in autumn and famously taunt them, throwing hay with pitchforks. But the main thing is not even that - they remain curious - they are really interested in who I am and where from.
- in Ladakh very friendly: there is a smile - the norm, the natural norm of life,
- and most importantly - in the hardest conditions of the highlands of Ladakh, in houses where there is no centralized heating, metal-plastic windows (then you can list the other blessings of civilization - they are also not here) - women are really healthy, very active and happy in their families and are engaged in, that they really like,
- By the way, they are not very familiar with the word "depression", and at first I was not too understood when I tried to share some or other of my sufferings, including about the relationship. But they always listened attentively, although in surprise, over time, I began to wonder at my reasons for suffering, and then they somehow began to disappear, dissolve.
- and most importantly - in Ladakh women are filled with ENERGY, full of it to the brim, there is no state of chronic fatigue - I did not see, I got tired from work - yes, normal, but restoring during sleep - instant, this is a completely different state of life, in fact is like a parallel world. And they are very natural in all their manifestations.
HOW DOES THE LADAKH WOMAN KEEP IT?
That's it about this our journey.
And more - you can read in the program of the tour, there every day is painted in great detail and filled to the brim with all sorts of practices - lectures - mystery events.
What you need to know about this tour:
there are no similar trips in principle - it's me and Kakar came up with.
Most of the tour will take place in local villages, where tourists do not happen.
But the living conditions will be comfortable, and the food - healthy and tasty - do not be afraid).
P.S. Maybe later I'll write another announcement, a shorter and more promotional one, or something, but for now let it be.
P.P.S. While this tour was being staged, two male photographers have already asked if they can take part in this tour.
Probably can - if the program is interesting).
For photographers, this tour will certainly be very interesting - photography in villages where tourists do not happen at all, among ladakh women, with the ability to quietly shoot in homes, fields, and generally just calmly take off - this is a delicious candy.
