Cultivating a Legacy, Empowering a Community
Our Story: Rooted in Tradition, Reaching for the Future
Siachen Naturals is more than just a brand; it's a culmination of passion, purpose, and a deep respect for the Ladakhi land. Founded by Tsetan Dorjay, our story begins with a transformative experience in 2016. Yearning for a deeper connection with nature, Tsetan ventured beyond traditional education, embarking on a journey that would redefine his future and his community’s.
This path led Tsetan to discover the profound link between environmental well-being and human prosperity. Two years spent working in the environmental sector solidified this conviction, igniting a desire to return to their roots and revive Ladakhi agricultural practices.
Despite initial challenges, Tsetan's unwavering determination and deep connection to the community fueled his mission to transform the local agricultural landscape.
The Naropa Fellowship provided the perfect platform for Tsetan's vision to take root. Here, Siachen Naturals was born, offering a range of products that embody the essence of Ladakh – its taste, resilience, and timeless traditions. They offer a range of organic Ladakhi food products, like barley soups and porridge packed with local herbs, nutrients, and the love of the community’s women who hand-make them.
