Ladakh is a valley perched between the high Himalayan mountain ranges. A valley that has history wrapped up around so much folklore that it is difficult to tell fact from fiction. It is a traveller’s 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 ever seen.
Dolkhar is 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 the mountains’ echo.
At Dolkhar we are trying to represent Ladakh in its most authentic form and our experiences are tailored for you keeping just that in mind. From treks on frozen rivers to immersive craft workshops, all our experiences are created, contextually and consciously.
An insight into our Chef’s tasting experience:
Our menu incorporates produce from Dolkhar’s kitchen garden and local, ethical, sustainable producers to showcase a cuisine built on immense respect for nature and seasonality.
Our chef, after spending ample time in Ladakh eating with the locals of the region and following narratives of lost ingredients, has curated a very special tasting menu as a eulogy to his travels by giving local ingredients centre stage.
Our Chef’s tasting menu consists of 7 courses: Amuse bouche | Soup | Pre entree | Entree | Palate cleanser | Main | Dessert

We also offer the following experiences, you can learn more about each of these under the NGO Support tab above:
Lachic spent all her life outside of Ladakh, and somehow never felt quite satisfied with her life. Every year, when she come back to Ladakh for her summer holiday her grandmother would ask whether her education would help her give back to the people of “her land”. It was only after the sudden demise of Lachic’s grandmother that her question came back and made Lachic introspect and realised that her purpose lay in going back to Ladakh.
“Dolkhar” was her answer to what tourism in Ladakh could possibly look like if it was built around love and respect for Ladakh, its people, and the planet. She named “Dolkhar” after her grandmother in aspiration of sustaining the space in a way that she would have imagined and nurtured it.
