Basgo, a historically significant town known for its Buddhist culture, remains notable despite much of it being in ruins. Its well-preserved monastery and the Basgo Khar (Fort), built in 1680 by King Jamyang Namgyal, highlight its past. During Namgyal rule, Basgo was Ladakh’s capital due to its strong defenses Under Mughal pressure, Ladakh was split, with Basgo in Lower Ladakh. King Bhagan reclaimed Basgo from Leh’s ruler, establishing the Namgyal dynasty. From 1555 to 1575, Tashi Namgyal fortified Basgo against the Mughals, ensuring its long-term security. Last but not the least, one can attend the ice climbing festival during the winter months.

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 !

If in the area, you can’t go wrong with spending the night at this location.
My wife and I enjoyed our stay with Basgo eco homestay in Ladakh. The couple who owns this place namely Stobdan and Dolma were extremely hospitable beyond words. We were very well looked after and I would highly recommend this place to anyone.
Nice stay ( big confy rooms ) and very delicious food ( the veggies are grown by them so a big plus there ).
