At Dolkhar, inspired by Ladakh’s people, culture, and traditional values, we have built a boutique stay that integrates a little piece of Ladakh with the rest of the world while keeping central our values of conscious, sustainable, and contextual travel.

We create spaces that balance the familiarity of comfort with the excitement of embarking on a new journey of discovery.

The Resort

We, at Dolkhar, understand that a building is more than just a structure- it is, in fact, a physical manifestation of our ideas and desires beyond the confines of pure function.

We have spent innumerable hours dedicated to consciously creating our seven villas so that they represent Ladakh while holding very closely our ideals of community and sustainability. Structures at Dolkhar are made out of locally sourced materials using local techniques of construction and by local artisans. 

For instance, we have used the compressed stabilised earth blocks [CSEB] for the building, local willow and poplar wood for the roofs, traditional columns and beams for structural support and we have collaborated with over forty Ladakhi craftspeople from different villages on embellishing the interiors with the use of local materials. The whole developmental process aims at creating a zero waste and zero plastic ecosystem.

The Location

Ladakh is a valley perched between the high Himalayan mountain ranges. A valley that has a history wrapped up around so much folklore that it is difficult to tell fact from fiction.

Ladakh is a valley perched between the high Himalayan mountain ranges. A valley that has a history wrapped up around so much folklore that it is difficult to tell fact from fiction. It is a travellers dreamland for its beautiful landscapes of purple and grey mountains, for its lakes that reinvent shades of blue, for flora and fauna unlike anywhere else in the country and for people that are deeply connected to their culture in the face of the most rapid attempts at industrialisation the world has seen.

Dolkhar is ideally located in Tukcha at the heart of the main town, Leh – a place that was once a pit stop on the legendary silk route.

The boutique stay is close enough so that you have access to everything you might need from the airport to groceries to medical facilities while still being far enough so you hear only the mountains echo.
