Photolalok is a small and beautiful village on the Kargil-Leh highway. The village is a good stop for bikers and all travellers that are looking for a well-facilitated stay along the Leh-Kargil highway. Stop here to get hot water, comfortable bedding, and fresh home-cooked food. The homestay owner also runs a little provisional store from where you can stock up some essentials for your journey.
Guests like to eat our Ladakhi food. They say it is delicious, even when it is prepared by an elderly ama (mother) like me. I always make sure I serve them the cleanest and healthiest food. My husband is a copper artist. When guests leave us, they say ‘Julley’, and hug us. It makes us feel happy.
I became a Mountain Homestay Host in 2018, and I have hosted many travellers since then. Running a homestay has helped me and my family a lot. Not only is the solar set up in our house useful for us, but even travellers prefer to stay in our homestay because of it.
The training we got in astronomy turned out to be a life-changing experience for our village. I felt happy and proud while mapping the position of the planets and sharing the secrets of the universe with the tourists. Tourists told me that even they didn’t know so much about the dark skies!
