Ladakh Festival Dates 20262027: Monastery Festivals Calendar

Ladakh Festival Dates (2026–2027): Monastery Gustors & Cultural Highlights A festival in Ladakh is not just an event—it’s a living scene of color, music, and ritual set against high desert light. If you are choosing travel dates, these celebrations can become the heart of your journey: masked dances in monastery courtyards, butter lamps glowing in prayer halls, and the gentle pulse of drums carrying across a valley. Here is a clear, easy-to-scan calendar of key monastery festivals and major cultural dates for 2026 and 2027. For entries listed only as a month (for example, “June”), the exact days are usually confirmed closer to the season.
