Hi

This year the business in Leh is Low and the Hotels are going Cheap. You can bargain a lot.
What is your budget?

For Rs 500 per night for a double room you can try Jigmet Guest House, Oriental Guest House.

if you like staying near the market, for 1200 per night you can stay at Hotel Tsokar.

or Go to Leh and just check few places before you take one.

Happy Travelling

Angchuk

also checkout Sia la guesthouse for decent rooms Rs.700/day
they are also at http://www.sialaguesthouse.com/

Khayul hotel - off Old Leh road. well recommended, LP etc. 350/day back in 2007 - decent indian food and service too.

Hi,

You can try staying at the Ribok hostel as well. Its run by an NGO called LEDeG.
Basic amenities ...a little away from the market and close to Shanti stupa.
It cost 200 per day including your breakfast. Do give them a call before heading there as they host students often in large numbers. I have worked with this NGO & stayed at this hostel, the people are wonderful and add to it a breathtaking view of snow capped mountains !

Oriental is a good place - good if you looking for many Europeans, has rooms in all ranges - worth a look - contact Dawa or his sister
