Ever thought of going for a camping expedition in the lap of Mother Nature but also getting to avail all the luxuries of of a 5-star hotel?
Well, Ladakh has ‘Glamping‘ in store for you.
To those who want to experience the thrill of camping without having to forego the amenities. Glamping will surely fill up your demands with wi-fi connectivity, Himalayan Earl Grey tea on call, plush indoors of the tents. A far call from the stereotype white-maroon guest houses and hotels with dragon motifs and carvings, that dot Leh, glamping in the land of Lamas is all about understated luxury.
You can curl up with a book, lie on your back in a farm field, listen to the birds chirping, smell the grass or meditate in the open. Chamba Camp, Thiksey and Diskit are the best options.
Be greeted by the cheery Ladakhi women in traditional style. Settle in your gypsy canvas tent with rustic interiors, vintage four-poster beds, wooden chandeliers, private sit-out area with camp style chairs, comfy duvets to snuggle into and heated shower area.
The destination has its own charm and a blissful vibe, credits to the red cheeked locals who return your gestures with a hundred watt smile and a word ‘juley’ (means hello).
The next thing you know, you are sipping a cup of butter tea with tsampa puli(cookies) and a dish of mok mok (momos).
The land which is about 12,000 ft above sea level is best to visit in midway May to September end, when weather is not too extreme.
It costs Rs58,000 per night for a couple, includes transfers to and from Leh airport, all meals and specific guided tour.
