Our History in Ladakh

The foundation for our international work and our global-to-local perspective was laid in Ladakh in 1978, when Helena Norberg-Hodge and John Page started the Ladakh Project – the organization that would eventually grow to become Local Futures.

Helena and John started the Ladakh Project in response to the western-style development that the Indian government was blindly imposing on the region.

Travelling To Ladakh

If you're travelling to the conference, we want to make sure your trip is as positive as it can be. We've put together some information on accommodation, as well as how you can have a mindful approach to your visit.
