Surrounded by terraced fields of alfalfa, poplars and willows, Saboo Resort in the idyllic Ladakhi village of Saboo is just seven kilometres from Leh Town and offers guests the opportunity of experiencing the authentic Ladakhi lifestyle, while still within easy reach of bustling Leh.
Days are devoted to walks around the village, trekking from monastery to mountain, and exploring the incredible landscape. At night, bed down in one of the fifteen cottages which blend seamlessly into the dramatic landscape of the Stok Range, lush fields and glacier-melt rivers. Built in traditional Ladakhi style, each cosy cottage has a simple living room, en suite bathroom, tea-and-coffee-making facilities and private verandah. Additional comforts include heating, complimentary Wi-Fi, LCD TV, and 24-hour room service.
The resort’s multi-cuisine restaurant offers a delicious menu of wholesome home-style Ladhaki, Tibetan, Chinese, Indian and Continental dishes, which won’t disappoint. For something lighter, there’s a coffee shop serving freshly-baked treats from the local bakery. But, perhaps the true highlight is the rooftop terrace with its open fire pit and breathtaking 360-degree vistas.
