Zangla Eco Homestay

Zangla, about 30 km from Padum in Zanskar, is a historic village known for its stunning landscapes and rich heritage. Overlooking the valley is the ancient Zangla Fort, once home to the local kings and later a residence for Alexander Csoma de Kőrös, the Hungarian scholar who compiled the first Tibetan–English dictionary. The fort offers sweeping views of the Zanskar River and surrounding fields.

The village is dotted with traditional houses, fields of barley and peas and Buddhist stupas that reflect the community’s spiritual way of life. Farming and livestock remain the main livelihood and visitors often get a glimpse of the simple yet traditional lifestyle of the people.

Zangla is also a base for short hikes and longer treks that open into scenic valleys and remote monasteries. For travellers, it combines history, culture and natural beauty, offering a rare chance to experience the authentic charm of Zanskar.

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 !
