Dragon Hotel

Top choice in Ladakh


Accessed through a pleasant garden restaurant (mains ₹120 to ₹150) directly behind the bus stop, the Dragon Hotel's new en suite rooms are clean, spacious and good value, with modern bathrooms. The homestay section is much simpler but clean (hot water by bucket), and the rooftop has great views. Contact manager Tashi.
