Shakti, Ladkah

In the remote but wildly beautiful region of Ladakh - which is quite unlike any other part of India - Shakti allows you to travel completely off the beaten track, without sacrificing high levels of comfort and service. Each house has two or three en-suite bedrooms, renovated in a stylish yet sensitive manner and is booked on an exclusive basis.

International food is prepared in the traditional kitchens and eaten privately in the grounds or dining areas while your private guide is on standby to help you explore the area. Each village house offers remarkable views and access to various sites or activities. It takes at least a day or two to acclimatise at this altitude which is why we generally recommend no less than seven nights here.
