Ladags Melong, the 'Mirror of Ladakh',
is a bilingual magazine providing an open forum for
all Ladakhis to freely express and exchange ideas, and
to spread awareness and information about issues affecting
Ladakh. It also keeps our friends in other parts of
the world in touch with the region. Ladags Melong aims
to revitalise literacy in Ladakh's own language by giving
a place of pride and utility to written Ladakhi.
Ladags Melong was started in 1993 with
a mission to promote functional literacy and to highlight
issue affecting the region and its people. Ladags Melong
is committed to inform Ladakhis about Ladakh and about
the outside world and how it influences us, so that
we can make an informed choice about own future. |

Getting Started in Ladakhi
is an indispensable guide for every traveller who visits
our land as friends of Ladakh, more than just a tourist.
As a phrase book it gives you not only the commonly
used vocabulary and phrases for different situation
in the market, in villages and on treks, etc, but goes
a step further to guide you in the dos ad don'ts of
Ladakhi culture and manners.
As a beginner's language book it presents the alphabet,
grammar and pronunciation in an easy manner, avoiding
complicated technical terms. Ladakhi script is used
alongside English, which helps in situation where your
pronunciation is not understood.
Finally, it serves to bring you closer to Ladakhis and
facilitates interaction, without which your visit to
Ladakh would be little more than a visit to a museum
or a zoo.
