Hemis Festival of Ladakh is celebrated every year on the birth anniversary of Guru Padamsambhav. It is a two-day celebration which marks the victory of good over evil. The legend has it that Lord Padamsambhav defeated the dark forces with the help of Vajrayana Buddhism. And, therefore, the people of Ladakh celebrate the day of his birth on a huge scale.
Hemis Festival 2022 dates are July 8th to July 9th. During the festival, the whole place comes to life like never before! Mark these dates so you donβt miss out on a major part of Ladakhβs culture.
