We stayed at Skyland for more than 3 weeks in June-July 2017. Initially we were supposed to stay with them only for a couple of days, before our trek in Zanskar, but ended up in not wanting to leave them. For us (my husband and I) it was an amazing stay and I honestly have nothing bad to say about this guesthouse. What really makes it special are the people. And also the location, because it is walking distance from the center, in a more quiet area.

So let me start with the people. This place is owned by a Ladakhi-Australian family, a sweet couple that will do anything to make you feel at home. And they also have two Nepali guys, Sonam and Suraj, that help them with everything, along with Rigzin, the manager. They are all very friendly and you feel that they love what they do, you don't feel like a tourist, you feel like a family member. Even when we returned earlier from a trek and thus didn't have a booking with them for the night (they were full), Sonam went with us and helped us find a room. The best moments were in the evening when we would stay on the terrace, enjoy a good chai and talk for hours. Sundup is an amazing guy and we so enjoyed spending time with him. We had some good laughs together and we are grateful that we got to meet him.

We also loved our room, we chose the deluxe ones because we wanted to have our own bathroom. It was very clean and due to the big windows, it was always warm. We did spend one night in a regular room and that one was also ok. So, for people going on a budget and not minding to share the bathroom, it is an excellent choice. 

Unfortunately, we didn't do any tours with them, but that's because we love to travel independently and to arrange our own trips. However, they did help us with transportation. We wanted to get to Kargil without having to pay the huge sums asked by the taxi drivers and Sundup helped us find a guy that was heading there and took us with him. So I am sure that their tours are highly professional.

So yes, Skyland is a great place. And I am pretty sure that you won't regret staying here. Yes, there are problems with the wi-fi, but that is not because of them, it is a problem with which the entire city is fighting. When we didn't have internet at Skyland there was also no internet anywhere else in Leh. When we return to Leh, which I am sure we will, for sure we will stay at Skyland again! A great place and totally recommend it! 

I stayed in some great places while on my travels around India but Skyland was easily my favourite! I felt welcomed into the family from the moment I stepped through the gate to the time I had to leave. The staff (including Marley the beautiful, sooky Saint Bernard) and owners are happy to help in anyway they can, for me it was helping to organise a beautiful trip to Hunda on my very tight budget, advise on places to visit on a day trip to monasteries and places I could visit on foot. Skyland is central to all the spots to visit in Leh on foot and being 5 mins out of town meant quiet at night for a good sleep.
The food was AMAZING as was the masala chai and ginger lemon honey tea (!!) and was really nice to eat dinner in the common room with different travelers most nights from around the world and sharing stories and travel plans.
My room was great, beds were super comfy and lots of warm blankets, shared bathroom was always looked after and having a washing service was fantastic!
I honestly felt so happy staying here and the welcome made me feel like I really was in a home away from home - and so I will be back!! Thank you all :):)

Tour arrangement
     We were 10 adults +1 child visited leh. The whole tour package was arranged by sandup and Lynee of skyland guest house. The tour was just fantastic with no hiccups or delay. 17 /5/17 we rested n leh  18/5/17 they took us to nubra via khardungla 19/5/17 to pangong and 20/5/17 to leh and 21/5/17 to kargil and finally to srinagar on 22nd . 
        Two tempos were arranged by them one for leh and one from leh to srinagar. Drivers were just fantastic people and allowed our own space and didnt show any intent wen we took tons of photos everywhere.
 Food :
      Morning we were served bread omlet, chapathi ,fruit salads, toasted bread ,milk tea, cofee . apricot jam  butter.
       lunch/dinner - dal chapathi veg curry rice pickle papad curd. 
Food was good and they even allowed us to prepare some south indian dish in their kitchen cabin ( our people made rasam and puli (tamarid )curry ) and they too tasted it and  ate with us. 
Accommodation :
We booked 4 rooms - all were clean and hot water was available from early morning till evening. tea and coffee were served round the clock. laundry facility was available. The rooms views were too good. Their terrace cover the hill view in wide angle. Wifi was available but slow . It is a real VFM out there.

A Home Away from Home

Friendly, brilliant and happy home away from home

skyland guest house - stay - 4days 175/17  to 20/5/17 - perfect one

Best guest house in Ladakh!!

We stayed in the standard room for a few nights, firstly the room that we were given had construction going on right outside so it was noisy all day. They obliged and let us change our room. There are shared bathrooms and they were almost never cleaned, they just stayed dirty. The shower didn't work properly in one or the flush didn't work properly in the other. The room was quite dirty too, hair on the bedsheets and all kinds of crap stuck to the carpet. The wifi never worked for the 4-5 days we were there, I think they just didn't bother recharging it.  We found much better guesthouses for much cheaper just down the road. The breakfast was disappointing too. Their standard rooms require some serious cleaning and fixing. Maybe their deluxe rooms are in better conditions. Even the cheapest hotels in Ladakh have a good standard of cleanliness and service but this one was highly disappointing. The best part about this guesthouse is their dog Marley!
