Skidmang Eco Homestay

Tucked away in Skidmang Village of the Changthang region, this eco homestay offers a peaceful experience of local Ladakhi life near the Indus River. The small village has around 30 traditional homes scattered across open fields and surrounded by beautiful mountains. Built using traditional Ladakhi architecture and locally sourced materials, the homestay combines heritage charm with simple comfort. Wake up to clean mountain air, enjoy a walk through barley fields or visit the peaceful Skidmang Monastery nearby.

The village sits on the way to Rong Valley, known for its quiet landscapes and clear skies, a perfect spot for photography, slow walks and short hikes to Skidmang Phu, the upper part of the village. As the evening sets in, sit near the bukhari (traditional stove), sip on butter tea and enjoy stories from your host under the star-filled Changthang sky.

Hear from the Travellers

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.

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 !
