The space

The space is designed for travellers looking for a cozy and immersive stay in a remote setting. It offers a comfortable private room inside a traditional home, built to retain warmth in extreme weather conditions.

Surrounded by vast open landscapes, the environment is quiet, raw and deeply connected to nature which is ideal for slowing down and experiencing Ladakh beyond the usual routes.

Stay

The stay reflects traditional living adapted to high-altitude conditions. Rooms are warm, simple and functional, designed to provide comfort despite the harsh climate outside.

With limited distractions and a peaceful atmosphere, the stay allows guests to fully disconnect and experience the rhythm of life in Changthang.

Meals

Meals are freshly prepared using locally grown produce, often sourced from greenhouse farming in the village. The food is simple, nutritious and rooted in local traditions.

Guests can enjoy dishes like green leafy curry and rice, along with home-style meals that reflect the lifestyle of the region. The focus is on freshness, sustainability and authenticity.

Experiences

The highlight of the stay is the guided stargazing experience conducted by a local Astrospreneur. Using a high-powered telescope, guests can explore constellations, planets and deep-sky objects under a clear night sky.

Beyond astronomy, guests can walk along Pangong Lake, visit nearby villages like Chushul, learn about nomadic life, or explore the region’s connection to pashmina culture and the history of the 1962 war.
