The cutest premium Leh Hotels –
1. The Saraha
Property Details
A 10 room boutique hotel designed to provide a calm and peaceful ambience for travellers, the property allows you to unwind and feel at home. All the rooms are identical except a few where there may be a small seating area. Wooden furniture, comfortable bedding and a seating space next to window panes, it an abode straight out of the vision of Mr. Stanzin, the owner. At times he himself hosts the guests and welcomes them with a cup of tea and a warm smile. Indulge in locally cooked meals presented in a cozy dining area where everyone can bond over meals. One can also ask for the choice of meal they would like to have, beforehand. The choice of meals can be Continental, Chinese, Gujarati and of course North Indian.
There is a garden area where you can soak in the sun and leisurely spread your legs or maybe find a quiet corner in the common area to read a book.
It’s one of the most sought after accommodations that Unwind Outdoor recommends to people who love a homely atmosphere.

We had a great time at Leh and this was possible because of Mr Stanzin and his “SARAHA”.

“We were a group of 9 ladies on a week long vacation at Ladakh. One of the best things to have happened was the stay for 3 nights at Lha Ri sa and meeting Tashi Motup, his mm and his team! Their hospitality is par excellence and we had a absolutely smashing time. Tashi is very passionate about Ladakh and he personally took us around to see the fresh water springs. Our first two nights in Leh were spent in the deluxe rooms which are spacious and well maintained. The last night was in the tree house which is fabulous. The property has a number of fruit trees -apples and apricots –which were deliious and Tashi was generous with us:)Thank you so much for a wonderful time. Love you for the care and for your personal touch.
Ohh I must say the food was awesome!!”
3. The verda driftwood
Property Details
A premium experience in the lap of the mighty mountains, located close to the River Indus, Driftwood has mud plastered walls and turrets reminiscent of centuries-old architecture of Ladakhi homes and forts. It is a slightly bigger property with 42 rooms. Each room comes with a view of the mountains and some rooms with a view of the mighty Stok Kangri. Most rooms have a day bed or a seating area where one can spend time at leisure or bond with their partners. Some rooms also have huge windows to enjoy the view of the mountain range. Enjoy the blue hour while you sip on tea. It is truly a magical experience, especially when you are away from the hustle and bustle of city life. Since it’s a little far from the city of Leh, the experience of the property is very different from any other city hotel. Enjoy a starlit sky, local food made with organic produce from the village and a rustic set-up in the lap of nature.
