Hotel Lumbini - welcome
Leh nestling among low hills is a small laidback town and the capital of Ladakh. The expansive Ladakh mountain range lies to the south while the sprawling Stok mountains stretch to the south. The centre of all activity in Leh is the main bazaar where you can get almost everything you need but remember all shops close early. Look our for good deals on handicrafts and other Ladakhi souvenirs while strolling this main street. It is suggested to spend a couple of days in town if you're heading out on a trek or Jeep tour as the high mountain rarefied air needs some acclimatisation. This will also give you time to explore the quaint villages on the outer edges of town. Our staff will be glad to give you information on day walks. Leh is a small town and walking is an easy way to explore the villages around and get away from the bustle. Several restaurants and cafes serve a range of cuisine and snacks if you're feeling like change. If you're flying in to Leh, the airport is 2 ½ Kms from the town and the best way into Leh is to take a taxi as there is no Airport bus. In Leh itself you can walk around to almost all the worth seeing sights, however to visit the numerous Monasteries around Leh you can take a bus or a taxi which the staff at Hotel Lumbini will gladly arrange for you.
