Dolkhar Resort

Built on ancestral property with painstaking efforts to preserve the local while offering a contemporary experience, The Dolkhar consists of 7 villas set around an apricot and apple orchard. Equipped with all the mod-cons including a smart TV (which you hopefully don’t need), this boutique resort is tasteful and pays homage to Ladakh’s heritage and ties with the land. Their plant-based restaurant, Tsas, offers a seasonal and local menu with a twist (and a cocktail bar will soon open). All in all, visit for a culinary experience if you can’t stay - but you would be wise to choose to spend a couple of nights here too.
