 Home Stays

During a home stay trekking, a route guide shows you the way from village to village. You will be sleeping in a Ladakhi family house (home stay) where the family cooks dinner, prepares breakfast, and provides the pick-nick lunch for you. During the entire trekking, you will be carrying your own backpack with the minimum things needed during your homestay trek.
​
Please note: ​Should you need help in carrying your bag during the home stay itinerary, you have the possibility to book porter(s). Contact us if you need porter(s), or mention it in your email as we need to book them in advance. Thank you.
