Lovely hotel around 2km from the center of Leh. The hotel has a serene garden where they sometimes offer breakfast or BBQ. Food is awesome and inlcudes western style breakfast and ladaky/indian style dinner/lunch. Staff is super friendly and helpful. A free shuttle service to Leh center is available. The rooms come with western style bathrooms and modern facilities.

I have been visiting Leh since about 3 years now every season with my motorcycling group. It was the first time ever that we chose this property and I must say i do not regret my choice. The hotel is located a bit away from the Main Market which makes it a quieter option compared to other main stream options. The hotel has a decent parking space. We found the rooms to be spacious enough with all the modern amenities one would need in a place like Leh. Over and all the rooms did have the heating system which i suppose can be turned on on special request or maybe during the winters. They also have the provision for the heated mattress system which was really helpful for those who had a sore back. A small but helpful feature in a place like Leh. The hotel has a very nice garden setup where they served us the Dinner with the live tandoor to make the Indian bread. The food was amazing and to the mark with generous quantity. The hotel has a very generous staff along with a very warm and welcoming owner who always is around to have a chat or help anyone if they have any issues. I highly recommend this place for all the possible amenities and features.

The hotel staff is cooperative but the owner is highly rude and non cooperative. The manager is not professional and for any pity item he consults with the owner who is never available personally and discuss the matter on phone as her house is attached with the hotel. The hotel is in between air port (2-3 Km) and market (2Km) and for market you have to higher taxi. There is no any item of recreation. Cotton fiber is filled in the surrounding as cotton trees are grown in the lawn which create problem to one having breathing trouble. The windows of some rooms open to back side from where the bad smell of sever fills the room and windows of some rooms open to staff quarters and some time in night they fight after drinking. There is no jet in the bathroom in sheet in some of the deluxe rooms and one has to use mug for that. Street dogs were found roaming in the hotel and shitting in the lawn. It is not worh for the family specially with children.

One of the oldest and secured place in Leh, the entrance open up to a vast stretched terrain and amazing mountain view. We visited Leh in June 2017 and were very delighted with the kind of services and amenities provided, the rooms are all well equipped with modern amenities and facilities. The complete environment gives you peace, i loved the hammock in their lush green lawn facing towards tall trees and the soft sound of the wind chimes is really soothing to the ears. Our stay was a complete bliss, we were supported and assisted throughout our travel in Leh. Mr. and Mrs. Norbo is a gentle couple and a great host who manages this place and its and honour to know them, they guided us well in planning our trip. Location: 4/5 Amenities: 5/5 Cleanliness: 4.5/5 Food: 5/5 Service: 4.5/5 I would surely recommend this place to each and every person travelling to Leh.

Hotel Shambhala is a perfect place in Leh if you are looking for peaceful homely stay. It is 10mins from Leh market. To begin with the staff is extremely friendly and helpful. If it's your first day in Leh, they request you to rest for the day so as to enjoy the rest of the Leh tour. They give personal attention if you are not feeling well due to high altitudes and arrange for cab to hospital if required. The rooms are wooden, cozy and clean with all basic amenities. They are not typical lodge rooms. You get a feel of a hostel with a common hall to have chats if you are with big group. There is a big lawn below where our tour leader had organized a Ladakhi folk show. The ambience is enchanting. The food is also good. They provide proper breakfast and meals.

Have been visiting this fine and simple hotel since 2009..The Narboo's are very warm and hospitable and make a great working couple who are always willing to help out. The kitchen is well run and food has been very good..perfect for the first few days of acclimatization...at the same time, not very expensive
