Offering free WiFi and a shared lounge, HITCHHIKERS HOSTEL LADAKH offers rooms in Leh, 3 km from Main Bazaar and 6 km from Shanti Stupa. The property is set 3.1 km from Soma Gompa, 4.1 km from War Museum and 5 km from Namgyal Tsemo Gompa.

The owner's an active, friendly and warmhearted person. He spent a lot of time to schedule our nubra trip with the good price. The driver and camp managers/staffs are very kind. He tried to take care all of us during our trip by texting everyday, especially when he was in the hospital and we couldn't call the driver. Another impresive thing to us is that he treats his staff well (do himself what he can do and help his staff to carry our very heavy luggages if they are busy - it's seldom seen in all hostels/hotels we stayed). Highly recommend 💖

An à la carte, continental or Asian breakfast can be enjoyed at the property. At the hostel you will find a restaurant serving Chinese, Indian and Mediterranean cuisine. Vegetarian, dairy-free and halal options can also be requested.

there's nothing to say about the new café and stay rumi except that it's beautifully decorated, cozy, and located close to the market – just a 2-3 minute walk away. The unique ambiance with its unique set of furniture is perfectly matched. I've traveled to many places, but I've never seen such beautifully simple furniture elsewhere. The city's simplicity is perfectly complemented here. And another thing to mention, it's one of the best community workshops. The wifi connection is excellent; there are no network problems even when working remotely. The staff here is also exceptionally courteous, briefing visitors beautifully. Even at such altitudes, there are no issues whatsoever. I highly recommend Rumi Café and Stay to everyone.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Rainbow Hostelier gives you good rooms with option of Bunk Beds or Private rooms. Rooms are decent with running Hot Water, Wi - Fi and Drinking Water available. The staff is really friendly and helpful especially in their eating area on the Terrace where Anshumann and Anshul cater to your needs. On Saturday, we also partaked in Barbeque night with Live music which was a good experience. The Bonus is the location which is just 10 mins walk from Leh Market. Definitely recommend the place.

    Milam Hostel was a great choice for my stay in Leh. Centrally located, just a few meters from the main market and Leh Palace. Plenty of restaurants, bike rentals & bus stand are in walking distance. The dormitory is spacious with lockers. The beds are very comfty, personal powerplugs next to it and clean bathrooms. Highly recommended while staying in Leh!

    Great location, clean rooms and extremely helpful staff - especially C.A. who took care of us helping with the altitude sickness and provided advice/assistance with booking our trips to Nubra and Pangong. The whole experience was more than just a couple of nights in the hotel - it was much broader and the entire stay in Leh was better, safer and cheaper thanks to the support we've received. Highly recommend - in fact our friends are coming there next month!
