Stay at India’s first Astro Village
Astrostays provides an exclusive dark sky experience coupled with a homestay situated at an elevation of 14,000 feet above sea level. A resident Astrospreneur facilitates a captivating stargazing experience beneath the night sky using a high-powered telescope positioned outside the homestay.
The Astrostay is located 163 Kms from the main city of Leh and takes 7 hours to reach from Leh via Chang La Pass. The village is famous for the blue turquoise lake and the pashmina goats of Changthang. Beyond the Turquoise lake one can experience the Border village of Chushul as well as the stories of the 1962 war at Rezeng- La. The Homestay is best known for its traditional appeal and local culture
Experience the magic of the dark sky along with the local culture during your next trip to Ladakh at the Pangong Lake
Tragias is a school teacher and taught local students throughout his life. His family used to be Nomadic during ancestral times and has several stories to share about the region of Changthang and life before influx of tourism at Pangong. His wife would also be happy to share the story of Astronomy during your stay.
The families of Maan village have brought innovation to their local farming too. To decrease dependency on the market far away from the village, locals have started growing the vegetable and fruits at their backyard. The newly built greenhouses are helping to make a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables available for guests as well as locals.
One day’s stay in Maan village is never enough to experience everything it has to offer. Pangong has a 80km shoreline and several villages along the Pangong Tso. Experience the Pashmina Goats of Changthang and the process of getting raw pashmina as well visit the Rezang La war memorial to see the valor shown by the heroes of 1962 Indo – Sino war.

When was the last time you gazed up at a starlit sky or caught a glimpse of a shooting star? Such magic is rare in urban areas, but at Astrostays—perched at 14,000 feet—you can reconnect with the wonders of dark, pristine skies while enjoying a cozy stay with a warm Ladakhi family. Conveniently located on the main highway from Leh or Nubra, this homestay lies en route to Ladakh’s final border village, Chushul. Delight in thoughtfully curated experiences, like evenings by the shores of Pangong Tso, a day with Pashmina nomads, birdwatching excursions, and more.
We were lucky to stay at the Astrostays at Pangong Lake. The house is overlooking the lake. The rooms are very comfortable and the bathroom is essential but perfectly functional. The living room is in the traditional Ladakhi style. The family running the homestay (brother and two sisters) is so nice that we regretted staying only for one night. We absolutely recommend this place.

Lovely Family and Lovely Home. We stayed at Thiksey Eco Homestay for one night as the Thiksey Monastery is close by. The whole family is very welcoming. The two daughters are engineers, son is very knowledgeable, friendly and a passionate photographer besides being a Trip Host. The mother is a nice lady and cooks delicious momos and cookies. The father is very warm and down to earth. We enjoyed a very homely stay. The hosts are requested to provide a little hard bed and provide some cloth hanging strip in the bathroom. If a hand wash bottle could also be kept. The hosts are superb.

Clean place, welcoming and accommodative hosts, provide help and guidance to prehistoric sites on Indus River. Provided lunch and dinner in pure Ladhaki style that was delicious at Domkhar Eco Homestay. Would highly recommend this serene location by an absolutely pure glacier fed mountain stream. Enjoy the tall peaks for a perfect R&R.

What a lovely family, we absolutely loved our stay at Padum Eco Homestay! Everyone was so warm and welcoming, it truly felt like home. The food was delicious and the rooms were clean and comfortable. Perfect location with beautiful views. Great value for money and very family-friendly. Highly recommend!

The Sakti Eco Homestay is run by an Army veteran and his wife , helped by their daughter when she is with them.
They are very kind and hospitable, we have very tasty yet homely food made by them that was very soothing after a long trip of eating outside food. The house the surrounded by garden / vegetation and is in the middle of a farm with lovely views of the mountains around.
A memorable stay I must say !
A very pleasant place to visit. It’s in Man village so it’s quiet, less crowded, very close to the lake. The staff is very hospitable and warm. Very talkative too. Food is decent. Rooms are warm, clean but poor ventilation and that’s why, a 4 star. Kindly work on some kind of ventilation. Gets colder outside but the new place is built in such a way; it stays warm inside.
Enjoyed my Stargazing experience with Mr Thinley. Excellent explanation and presentation. Please keep in mind that many external factors like full moon and clouds also affect your visibility. Having said that, Mr Thinley goes out of his way to make sure you have a good experience!!
