Photographer Nabina Nazar recently spent time in Ladakh, India to document the region’s textile processes with our partners KAL. Nabina was gracious enough to share some of her photos with us. These images tell a visual story of the rich history of the region, at the base of the Himalayan mountains, where life is connected to the seasons and textiles are still created by hand.

If you find these photos inspiring, you can join us for a textile tour in Ladakh this year.

In Thread Caravan’s inaugural Crafts of Kutch experience, participants were fully immersed into the rich and storied craft traditions of Gujarat’s Kutch region, a land shaped by centuries of nomadic movements, trade, and artistic heritage. Over the course of eight days, we connected with master artisans and learned textile techniques through hands-on learning experiences. Below, we dive into the unique experiences included in the trip itinerary.

Our Iceland Wool Adventure started and ended in Iceland’s capital, Reykjavik, where guests had time to explore the city at their leisure.
