Basgo, a historically significant town known for its Buddhist culture, remains notable despite much of it being in ruins. Its well-preserved monastery and the Basgo Khar (Fort), built in 1680 by King Jamyang Namgyal, highlight its past. During Namgyal rule, Basgo was Ladakh’s capital due to its strong defenses Under Mughal pressure, Ladakh was split, with Basgo in Lower Ladakh. King Bhagan reclaimed Basgo from Leh’s ruler, establishing the Namgyal dynasty. From 1555 to 1575, Tashi Namgyal fortified Basgo against the Mughals, ensuring its long-term security.

Guests like to eat our Ladakhi food. They say it is delicious, even when it is prepared by an elderly ama (mother) like me. I always make sure I serve them the cleanest and healthiest food. My husband is a copper artist. When guests leave us, they say ‘Julley’, and hug us. It makes us feel happy.

I became a Mountain Homestay Host in 2018, and I have hosted many travellers since then. Running a homestay has helped me and my family a lot. Not only is the solar set up in our house useful for us, but even travellers prefer to stay in our homestay because of it.

The training we got in astronomy turned out to be a life-changing experience for our village. I felt happy and proud while mapping the position of the planets and sharing the secrets of the universe with the tourists. Tourists told me that even they didn’t know so much about the dark skies!
