Himalayan Homestays_Phyang_17

Urban migration has become a prominent problem in Ladakh. Due to lack of higher educational institutes, colleges, and universities, mostly youth of the villages have been moving to Leh, Chandigarh, Delhi and other cities. Also, the lack of job opportunities, they prefer to settle in the cities, leaving behind their homes in the villages. It makes the large traditional houses in the villages empty, where Amalays (old women) in their homes have to run the house from farms, to milking cows, to managing the household chores, all alone. While young generation is moving away from their home, it is not only making the grannies live a lonely life back home, but they are also missing the traditional ladakhi upbringing and the touch of a rich cultural heritage.
