We recently chose Lazy Yatra for our Ladakh tour (6N-5D), and overall, it was a memorable experience. A special thanks to Ms. Divya, who shared a well-structured itinerary covering Leh, Nubra, and Pangong, and to our assigned local driver Mr. Stanzin, who was extremely kind, polite, and helpful thro

ughout the journey.
In Leh, we were initially hosted at Hotel Utpala, which offered clean rooms, good food, and exceptionally warm hospitality from the hotel manager and staff. On the second day, due to prior arrangements, we had a confirmed booking at Hotel KAAL (a good property), but unfortunately, upon arrival, we were informed it was full. We were shifted to their alternate property Zomday, which did not meet expectations – No hot water for the day we checked in, the room had visible wall cracks, unequal bedding, poor hygiene, and the food quality was disappointing. This was the lowest point in our accommodation experience.
In Nubra, we stayed at Orange Boutique Camp, a tented setup. The camp is beautiful, but we would recommend staying here only during July–August when temperatures are more suitable. During our stay, it was very cold at night, and hot water was available only in the morning due to valve closures at night.
At Pangong, our stay at Royal Foster Cottage was lakeside and scenic. The night temperatures here too were extremely low, and we would suggest considering homestays for better insulation and warmth. That said, Mr. Jimmy, the manager of Royal Foster, was incredibly caring—his hospitality felt like being looked after by a family member.
Ladakh itself is a breathtaking destination—offering a perfect blend of snow-capped mountains, rugged terrain, rivers, lakes, and unparalleled peace of mind. The lack of mobile network for most non-local SIMs gives you the perfect opportunity to disconnect and truly live in the moment.
Despite a few hiccups in accommodations, the trip was overall smooth and enriching. Thank you to Lazy Yatra for curating this experience
