Stay along the Indus River
Stay along the Indus River
As its name suggests, Indus Riverside is located along the banks of the Indus River. Enjoy a cozy stay at Spituk Homestay, where you’ll be treated to stunning views of Leh city illuminated at night.
The word Spituk means exemplary. With a calming view of 11th century Spituk Monastery which is home to over 100 lamas, the homestay is located in a quiet and peaceful neighborhood alongside the mighty Indus River. Situated at a distance of 15 minutes from Leh airport the homestay is easily accessible by road. With Indus River and the Spituk Monastery as its backdrop, this charming village also acts as a key point which connects some of Ladakh’s most popular attractions — Leh City, Sangam (confluence of Indus and Zanskar river), Thiksey and the most recent addition to every intrepid traveler’s bucket list, Markha Valley situated at Hemis National Park.
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 !
Truly a unique homestay! As soon as we arrived in Ladakh, we were fortunate enough to be hosted by this wonderful family. The house is surrounded by greenery, and the room had a stunning view of the Spituk Monastery and the Indus River. I was able to personally help prepare dinner, which allowed me to learn a lot about the local cuisine. We would have happily stayed many more nights!
I enjoyed Spituk a lot. The family was really very fabulous. The Spituk Monastery was absolutely gorgeous. My favorite thus far. Really enjoyed the walk and picking the fresh mustard greens. Exactly what I like!
