A quaint, old fashioned hotel where there are no glitzy paintings but priceless Ladakhi wall paintings, where the view from your window is a snow-covered Ladakh range, Russian poplars, women tilling and preparing the land for the inhouse garden come summer, where there is no air-conditioned covered lobby, but a beautiful lawn full of wooden & string chairs, hammocks, bonfire...Shambhala...

We were a group of 50 and occupied the entire hotel. What I really liked about the place is that it felt like home. The lawns were well maintained and had hammocks and chairs to laze around. The reception area, common areas are cozy n warm with cane chairs n sofas.we enjoyed d evenings playing cards, antakshari, etc. The owners... More

The rooms are very good, food excellent, staff courteous. Though, rates are on the higher side, but you won't feel the pinch after your stay here. Unlike "Jamal Resort, Srinagar" where you feel as if your pocket has been picked or you have been looted by hooligans. I really appreciate, that they have preserved & maintained the greenery around the... More

I chose this hotel over others in Leh going by the reviews here and I was not disappointed, rather I was delighted with the place. Getting a reservation done was a bit of a pain as I had to call first then send an e-mail and deposit money via a bank transfer. But, in the end it was worth it.... More

We were shocked to read this totally unfair review of Shambhala as we too were staying in this lovely hotel at the time the Dutch family checked in and actually heard them shouting at the counter staff over some minor delay caused by reservation mix-up.When the lady -owner turned up to inquire,they started pressing that a courtesy pick-up from town...

The list of negatives is by no means complete: -The receptionist could not find our booking and kept requesting a "voucher'. After 10 minutes the owner appeared and translated for us. We were appointed 3 sad looking rooms. -We arrived around 2pm after a morning rafting hungry. Although the notice board lists the lunch/ dinner times there was not enough... More

First trip to Leh. We stayed for two weeks in total at the Shambhala Hotel, with a 5-day break to visit Zanskar - it was a very consistently pleasant experience, with all the staff going the extra mile to provide whatever we needed. Our rooms were cozy, clean and quiet and the upstairs veranda is the best place to relax... More
