About Shakti Ladakh Village Houses
- A collection of restored traditional village houses near Leh operated by Shakti Himalaya, launched circa 2009.
History
Shakti Ladakh Village Houses is a collection of traditional Ladakhi homes in villages of the Indus valley near Leh, offered as an exclusive-use 'village experience' by Shakti Himalaya. Founded by Jamshyd Sethna — who created Shakti Himalaya in 2004, beginning with village walks in Kumaon (2004) and Sikkim (2006) — the company extended to Ladakh around 2009, becoming one of the first to bring luxury homestays to the remote region that had only opened to travellers in 1974.
Each 'house' is a leased local dwelling, restored and renovated to retain its original structure, poplar and willow beams and Ladakhi character while adding en-suite bathrooms, king-size beds, local art and comfortable furnishings. Guests move between houses in villages such as Nimoo, Likir and Thiksey, accompanied by a private guide, driver, porters and chef, with the properties refreshed and rotated over the years.
