IndiaThe location was beyond our expectations, and the cottages we had booked were small but beautiful and right on the banks of the Indus. The service is awesome and the hosts look after you as if you are members of family. Indeed the whole place breathes a family atmosphere, and each member of the smiling staff makes you feel at home. The food is simply out of the world. I really wonder why more people do not stay here !

IndiaEverything about this place is so amazing. The location ❣️ The staff, Niko, Mary, everyone is just so humble and welcoming. Coming to ladakh you shouldn't be expecting delicious food, but trust me at Indus River camp everything we had was just delicious.

IndiaThe hospitality of the staff. The maintenance of the camps. The professionalism of the owners. The taste of the food. It was all great.

IndiaThis innovative property is quite secluded and tucked into the banks of the Indus, with amazing views of ancient monasteries and the city of Leh in the background. It has an ‘away from it’ feel. We were enthralled to spend two nights between trips to Nubra and Pangong. The hosts are Nico and Mary, he of British-Bengali heritage and she British. Mary’s food was quite simply the best we ate in 14 days in Ladakh! She is a graduate of the culinary institute in London and makes inspired fusions with locally available ingredients. The tents were very upscale; more glamping than camping:) And Momo! Best dog ever!!

Rooms are well appointed with great views (would have been nice to have a Coffee/ Tea maker) Nico , Salman , Jigmet and Mary who run/ own the property are hands on and extend all the help you need.

IndiaThe location of the rooms on the banks of the river Indus was superb. Views of mountains all around were marvellous. The tranquility of the place along with the facilities made for a superb start to our holiday in Ladakh. Food was simple yet delicious---freshly cooked and tasty. All staff were very supportive. On the first day we arrived early and while waiting for our room, the host Nicholas treated us to some very nice tea and locally made Krackjacks. We felt at home immediately. We would highly recommend this place to our friends and family

Does the rates of rooms include all mealsHi, The rates here are exclusive of meals. We offer a large buffet breakfast, with homemade muesli and granola, fresh fruits, homemade curd and butter, local jams, honey, homemade sourdough, tea and coffee for 250 rupees. We then offer cooked options (omelettes, pancakes, paratha, porridge, eggs in any style) at an extra cost. Lunch is a 2-course vegetarian meal for 650 rupees per person, a main accompanied with salads from the village or from our garden, followed by a dessert. Our dinners are a 3-course meal, with a starter, several mains, rice and salads, followed by a dessert, at 900 rupees per head. The creator of our menu has previously worked for notable chefs in the UK such as Nathan Outlaw in his Michelin star restaurant "Outlaw's Fish Kitchen" and has had experience working with chefs such as Yotam Ottolenghi and Masterchef Professionals winner Steven Edwards. She was Graduate of The Year from Leiths School of Food and Wine, the finest culinary school in the United Kingdom. ThanksAnswered on January 23, 2020

Hi , Three questions 1) My daughter is 10 years old and she will not stay alone in a diffrent room . Can we get an extra bed if we book one bunglaow between sept 28-oct 3 2) Do you get alcohol at the facility 3) Will we get a vehicle on rent to move around LehHi, we don't do extra beds in our cottages/bungalows, as there's not much space for them. Our cabins and chalets are better for an extra bed. We don't serve alcohol but we can help you source it. Its somewhat limited. Getting a taxi is really easyAnswered on July 21, 2022

Property info
The Indus River Camp is a 40-acre natural sanctuary on the banks of the Indus, in the village of Chuchot. It is a 20-minute drive from Leh and its airport, yet the only buildings in sight are the local monasteries.
We offer affordable glamping: we have 8 Luxury Tents, Cabins and Cottages facing the Indus River. We have a well-stocked library, a telescope, a wildlife scope, a campfire and a dining hall served by a classically trained chef, all set in the largest natural property in Ladakh.
The land is a haven for birds and wildlife alike. It is an experience away from the dust and noise of Leh city, yet a short 25-minute drive will take you into town.
Through our guest coordinator, we organise itineraries and a number of activities and cultural experiences in and around camp and further afield. Get in touch if you would like help with your trip and we will make sure that all your logistical concerns are
Neighborhood info
Our campsite is located in the peaceful, Buddhist villge of Chuchot Yokma. The village runs parallel to the Indus River for 13km and offers lovely village and river walks. 15 minutes walk from camp is the Bactrian double humped camel conservation project - a government initiative to preserve the unique double humped camels that are found in Ladakh. They are not indigenous to the region but were brought by traders along the Sillk Road and Alexandra the Great's armies so long ago.
Visible from our rooms, on the other side of the river Indus, is Shey Palace, former home to Ladakhi royalty and a combination of ruins, palace and jagged rocks. Along the Indus Valley there is the spectacular Thiksey monastery which, along with its gonpa (supporting village) is built onto a rocky hillside and is conveyed with special religious significance in Buddhism. Further along the river are Matho, Stakna and Hemis, each offering its own unique views of the valley and cultural significance.
Towering over camp is the mighty Stok Kangri mountain - at 6,300 metres above sea level it is the highest if the nearest peaks and sitting below is Stok Palace, the current home of Ladakhi royalty.
