Ladakh has a long history with evidence of human settlement from as back as 9000 b.c. It has been a crossroad of high Asia for thousands of years and has seen many cultures, empires and technologies born in its neighbours. As a result of these developments Ladakh has imported[clarification needed] many traditions and culture from its neighbours and combining them all gave rise to a unique tradition and culture of its own.
