Paying Guest Accomodation with locals, a unique way to explore Ladakh
The hotels and guesthouses see brisk business starting July to mid-September. The lodges made of wood evoke the old world charm and have a romantic appeal to them. There are a number of budget friendly accommodation options available to tourists. Hotels and lodges are located in three main areas in Leh; one is in the Old Town , the newer areas along Fort Road and in the quaint, picturesque village of Changspa .
Some of the hotels worth checking out include Hotel Dragon, Hotel Shamba-La, Mandala Hotel, Lotus Hotel, Pangong Hotel, Spic n Span Hotel among many others.
In places that have been recently opened to the public like the Nubra Valley , the Government has come up with an interesting scheme in conjunction with the locals. Locals can offer paying guest accommodations to tourists for the duration of their stay. It is a great way to learn more and to appreciate this land.
