Leh / Jammu: Umling La, the world’s highest motorable road situated at a height of 19,024 feet, has scored a world record by successfully hosting an international fashion show at highest altitude, officials said.
The show was held Thursday under Vibrant Ladakh Festival in which models from 14 nations from across the world participated.
The event was organised by the Ladakh Autonomous Hill Development Council in partnership with Ladakh Art and Entertainment Alliance and was supported by Indian Army and Border Roads Organisation.
Two Ladakhi models were among those who walked the runway at record height.
The Umling La fashion show was aimed at promoting ‘one world one family’ creed of ‘Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam’, as well as the highly valued GI tagged Pashmina of Ladakh, the show’s organisers said.
The costumes donned by the models introduced a colour palette that reflected the spring and summer hues and also showcased pashmina products produced in the Changthang region, they said.
LAHDC Chairman Tashi Gyalson applauded the achievement and paid his gratitude to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah for allowing foreign tourists to stay in Hanle.
