Ladakh has inaugurated the world’s highest-altitude twin flower fields at Choglamsar and Stakna in Leh, located approximately 10,600 feet above sea level. Spread across 40 acres, the fields feature more than 25 lakh high-value flowers, including Lilium and Gladiolus. Inaugurated by Lieutenant Governor Vinai Kumar Saxena on 17 September 2026, the initiative aims to promote commercial floriculture, diversify agriculture and create sustainable livelihood opportunities for local farmers, women and self-help groups. The flower fields will also serve as training and demonstration centers, helping farmers develop skills in scientific flower cultivation and access wider markets.
