Ladakh Village Experience and Shayok River

A Village Experience in the Indian Himalayan state of Ladakh staying at Shakti home stays and rafting on Shayok river.

Shakti offers a rare opportunity to discover compellingly beautiful and remote regions of the Indian Himalaya, combining an honest and sustainable approach with sophisticated simplicity and style. Continuing on the Village walks concept pioneered in Sikkim and Kumaon, Shakti’s third village experience in Ladakh has been adapted to local conditions. The traditional architecture of Ladakh is grander in style tha in other Himalayan regions; therefore they these village houses have been renovated to a higher level of sophistication but without compromising on the authenticity and charm.

Staying in these houses offers the visitor a rare chance to experience a rural way of life in the homes of the Ladakhi people. As the terrain in Ladakh is also very different to that of Sikkim and Kumaon, journeys between the houses here will be on foot, by river raft and by vehicles with stops at Buddhist monasteries. After the Village Walk you undertake the Shayok River Journey in the remote Nubra valley.
