Old Likir Traditional Farm Stay

What makes this homestay great is the Ladakh working family. Hard-working mom is at home with a toddler, Dad is a trekking guide and farmer. It's 20 minutes below the Likir monastery and walking up to talk to the monks and marvel at the Maytrea brings happiness to your soul. The family welcomes you to their house. Everything is simple and you get the true feeling how a Ladakh farmer family make it work. It is not a hotel or a guest house, it's a homestay where people make a living every day. Mama cooks very well, and the family eats with you in their traditional living-room. We stayed for 3 nights and loved the yaks, pottery, and Likir Monastery, all around the corner. Expect little and you will be blown away by the friendliness of the family, talk with the monks and go for morning prayers. You will be a changed human being.

OG VIBE. It was surreal and so humbled.

Nothing to not like

I stayed at this amazing cute homestay with Stanzin and his family for 2 nights. His wife is a very good cook. Nice breakfast and dinner and always fresh milk or mint tea ready for you in the Ladakhi diningroom and plenty of fresh abricots from their own tree. The rooms are very big, clean and with incrieble views to the mountains and barley fields. I went with Stanzin on the Sham trek for 4 days, and he is the best guide. He knows everything about the trails, animals, mountains, and the homestays. He has so much knowledge of the people in these villages, and they all know him. Julley julley 🫠 If you want to go on this trek or other treks, take him with you. It is very difficult to find the way on your own in these mountains, and he brings a surprise lunch pack for you. It saved my life 🙏🏻 I hope to be back one day, and do an other trek with Stanzin in the Himalayas 🙂

Stanzin was an incredible host - very knowedgeable about the area and the culture. He went above and beyond in ensuring that my experience in his home and village was one of feeling welcomed. He has masenitnhis mission to make the Sham Valley Trak accessible to everyone.

Nothing - it was a delightful authentic traditional homestay experience
