Historical, Cultural Experiences & Spiritual Significance of Skitmang

Skitmang has historically been a seasonal settlement for herders who moved their pashmina goats and yaks across the high pastures. Over time, small permanent homes were established, and Buddhist customs became central to life in the village. With deep roots in Tibetan Buddhism and Ladakhi tradition, Skitmang remains largely unaffected by modern commercial tourism, making it a living archive of mountain life.
