Emphasizing the potential for village-based wellness initiatives, Deputy Chairman, LAHDC, Leh, Tsering Angchuk highlighted Panamik as a prime location for dedicated wellness development due to its natural hot springs. He added that the utilization of these hot springs for Sowa-Rigpa therapy presents a unique opportunity to showcase Panamik as a wellness destination.
