Takshos Hotel

Ladakh


The Takshos's newer upstairs rooms are huge, though the modern bathrooms smell a little like a drain. A new deluxe block is under construction. Its garden restaurant serves a wide-ranging menu (mains ₹150 to ₹360) at tables dotted between young apple trees – ask to try the apple juice (not on the menu).
