Traceback the golden era of Silk Route trading in the last outpost village of the route
A beautiful village nestled right beside the Siachen river, Ayee is a place where you wake up to a pristine view of sharp, majestic mountains. Though it is the medieval period of the Silk Route OR The Great Game era OR the most recent years of Indo-China conflict, this part of the world has always been everyone’s interest. These roots of history are evidently visible in the villages along the Siachen River. One of them is Ayee, who once was the most important outpost to monitor the trading happening at the Silk Route. Living around the Petroglyphs, 1000-year-old Juniper Tree, hidden caves, and monasteries in Ayee transport you back to that era. Take this journey to stay at the Lost Frontier of Ladakh!
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!

Superb! The story here is sustainable. The hosts are warm & takes care of everything. I liked the visit to the caves in the hills and old juniper tree. Please visit these places & explore its history.
It was a wonderful experience staying at Ayee. Food was very healthy and delicious.
Excellent! Excellent! Excellent! experience with nice and helping people. They helped us to know about Ladakhi culture, people, food & also the political point of view. Must visit location & hospitality. Thanks for including their local activities such as plucking of apricots and many more. Thanks for everything.
Everything here is beautiful the homestay, our hosts are well educated and humble, and we experienced amazing Ladakhi hospitality. They fed us constantly with Ladakhi delicacies and it was very insightful leaving about the local food, customs etc. We’d definitely recommend this homestay for our friends and would love to meet again. This is by far the best MH Homestays we stayed in.
