Leh has many "hotels" but none quite like the new Shey Bhumi Retreat, which blends luxury, tradition and nature into a heady concoction. Guests looking to avoid being cooped up in stuffy hotel rooms need search no further. Just a short drive from Leh main city, through willow groves and past the snaking Indus river, brings you to serene six acre Leh berry plantation. In the middle of that plantati
on is an over hundred year old Ladakhi mansion, carefully restored now to house the Shey Bhumi restaurant, kitchen and lounge. Scattered around this estate, are ten independent cottages, built in the traditional Ladakhi style. Wooden beamed roofs, wooden floors, thick mud brick walls for heightened insulation, large en suite washrooms equipped with glass shower cubicles and all modern amenities, spacious verandahs to lounge in....this is no ordinary hotel room experience, we promise you. Shey Bhumi provides the ideal base for a perfect Ladakh getaway. Our carefully curated itineraries are designed to give you a complete sense of this magical land : it's culture, people, monuments, landscapes and customs. We offer complete tour packages that start with your arrival at Leh airport and end with us bidding you farewell at the airport again, after what would have been a scintillating vacation. This also happens to be the year of Naropa, the Mahakumbh of the Himalayas, that takes place once in 12 years. The epicentre of this hugely popular cultural fair is the Hemis Monastery, located just ten minutes drive away from the Shey Bhumi retreat.
