Tucked away in an orchard close to the confluence of the Indus and Zanskar rivers, this charming heritage hotel is the perfect base for trekkers and those looking to explore Ladakh’s cultural treasures.

Accommodation at this century-old Himalayan home comes in the form of four guestrooms in the main house and seven spacious tents dotted throughout the orchard. Interiors are a blend of Ladakhi traditions and modern comforts, with local materials, hot water showers and private bathrooms.

“INDIA AT ITS MOST INCREDIBLE”

Unbelievably brilliant from start to finish. 91�� gave us complete flexibility while tailoring the trip to our personal preferences. Communication was excellent throughout, and the in-country team in India was super-efficient at every stage. The quality of the experience was exceptional – and the value for money, remarkable. From expert naturalists to thrilling wildlife encounters (tigers, leopards, 140 species of birds), awe-inspiring temples, the Taj Mahal, scenic walks and warm, welcoming people – not to mention the fantastic curry – it was a truly superb holiday. “Ultimate” really is “91��”!

“EXPERTLY TAILORED, EFFORTLESSLY ENJOYABLE”

We travelled to Indochina in January/February with an itinerary designed by 91�� – and it was spot on. Rob, our consultant, really understood what we were looking for and created a journey that suited us perfectly. The choice of hotels was excellent, and the pace was just right, with enough time built in to relax and recharge between the different experiences. The service throughout was professional, personal and thoughtful – exactly what you want from a travel specialist.

“YES TO ULTIMATE – AND YES AGAIN”

This was our second big trip with 91�� – and we’d happily use them again and again. The customer service is excellent: they really listen to what you want and make it happen. Their on-the-ground support, wherever you’re headed, is just as strong. Everything was seamless. Highly recommend.
