Zaltak Guesthouse

Leh


The old block here is an upgraded standard Ladakhi house with two clean budget rooms. The new back building has excellent-value en suite rooms with sitting areas, large beds and hotel-standard bathrooms.

Both buildings face a very pleasant garden that produces much of the food for family-prepared meals (ask by 4pm for dinner).
