SOUVENIR SHOPPING

Take a Piece of the Mountains Home

Every adventure ends, but a few things can travel back with you. Maybe it’s a handwoven shawl, maybe it’s a carved trinket, maybe it’s a jar of apricot jam that you swear will last months (but mysteriously vanishes in a week). Souvenir shopping is where you pick the memories you can touch.

In Kashmir 🍃

Pashmina Shawls & Stoles – Soft, warm, and timeless (and no, not every “Pashmina” in the market is real—we’ll help you tell the difference).

Carpets & Rugs – Intricate, handwoven, and best appreciated with a cup of kahwa in hand.

Papier-Mâché Art – Boxes, vases, ornaments painted with tiny, patient brushstrokes.

Walnuts, Saffron & Kahwa – Flavors of Kashmir that fit in a suitcase.

In Ladakh 🏔️

Handwoven Woolens – Yak wool socks, caps, and scarves to make winters back home feel less cruel.

Thangka Paintings – Traditional Buddhist art, detailed and meditative.

Silver & Turquoise Jewelry – Bold, beautiful, and distinctly Ladakhi.

Apricot Products – Jams, oils, dried fruit (the region’s sweetest export).

What’s Covered (and What’s Not):

Souvenirs are not part of any package cost—they’re entirely your choice (and your wallet’s). Think of it as the part of the trip where you create your own shopping adventure.

How We Help You Shop Smart?

Markets can be tricky. Price tags sometimes grow taller when they see a traveler coming. That’s where our guides step in:

They’ll point you to trusted shops, local artisans, and genuine products.
They’ll gently remind you when that “antique” looks suspiciously mass-produced.
They’ll help with bargaining (without you needing a crash course in local haggling).

So you can focus on finding what you love, instead of worrying if you’re being played.
