The Heart and Hands Behind Every Harvest

Nestled in the remote valleys of Ladakh, Turtuk is home to a community of hardworking Balti farmers who have cultivated the land for generations. These farmers are the backbone of our journey, dedicating their lives to growing the finest apricots, barley, walnuts, and Himalayan herbs that define the essence of Turtuk’s rich agricultural heritage.

A Life Rooted in Tradition

Farming in Turtuk is not just an occupation; it is a way of life deeply woven into the fabric of Balti culture. Passed down through generations, their farming techniques are a harmonious blend of ancient wisdom and sustainable practices. Here, every seed is sown with care, every harvest is celebrated, and every product tells a story of dedication and resilience.

Sustainable & Ethical Farming Practices

Our farmers follow organic, chemical-free methods to preserve the purity of the land and the richness of its produce. Watered by glacial streams from the Karakoram mountains, the orchards and fields of Turtuk yield apricots that are sun-dried naturally, barley that is hand-roasted to perfection, and herbs that retain their potent flavors and aromas. By keeping the process natural, we ensure that every product retains its authenticity and nutritional value.
