Choglamsar · 生态土屋 · 1室1床1.0卫 · 可住2人 · Your Private Cottage in Textile Paradise
Our Handcrafted Home is a private home situated in Choglamsar Village, a suburb of Leh in a calm residential area with plenty of greenery. We are away from the buzz in Leh but still very close with 7km to Leh. We started building this house in 2019 with the idea to create a space which feels part of the land it is built on and in harmony with the ecosystem of Ladakh. We love cooking for our guests so dinner and breakfast are included if you wish. The property features a main house and a guest cottage. Both are built with rammed earth and using mostly wood, stone and glass. The house was built under the guidance of Bogadhi Sandeep, an award winning architect in Ladakh. Our guests are staying in the guest cottage, a private and cosy space with views over the Stok Range and a big private outdoor deck to sit on and enjoy the afternoon sun. The home furnishings are all entirely hand-spun and handwoven by our team of artisans. Coffee and tea in the morning is inclusive of course! Also, facilities for making tea and coffee in the cottage are provided. We, Angtak and Catherine, are a Ladakhi-German couple and are working with traditional textile crafts here in Ladakh and Assam through our label We are KAL. At our home you can also see the backstrap loom weaving and discover how raw wool turns to textiles. Our garden epitomizes our approach to life - growing in harmony with nature, patiently waiting for seeds to turn into plants and cherishing the change of the seasons. Since 2019 we have started turning this barren land into a little jungle and each year the garden gets more beautiful. We invite you to harvest (of course, depending on the season :)) and enjoy the magic of a garden. We built our guest cottage for our family and friends visiting from far away, but of course it is not occupied all the time. That’s why we are now welcoming guests who are visiting Ladakh to stay with us, just like a friend. You will experience a place of serenity, craft and authenticity.
Catherine and Angtak are incredible people. They made me feel at home and part of the family. The conversations were so fun and the food was delicious and they even included me in the dyeing processes that I really wanted to take part in! They are so very kind and have created a sanctuary in the Himalayas that attracts people from far and wide. Their textile production is local and all natural. I absolutely loved my time with them and will definitely stay again! And the space is gorgeous!
Angtak and Catherine are great hosts and it was lovely staying with them. The location is perfect if you want to experience a local life in Leh. It s about 15 minute drive from the city center and they will help you rent a car for the day if you require. The view from the room is pretty amazing too and the hosts allow access to the kitchen which is located in the main residential unit. Overall, it was a wonderful stay, we had some great conversations about Ladakh and some amazing recommendations on local travels. Will definitely stay here again!
Catherine and Angtak are lovely hosts. Their place is beautifully done. They’re very warm, generous and friendly! Had a wonderful stay with them- wish could’ve stayed longer.
My stay was truly unforgettable. The room provided was spacious and comfortable, with attention to detail that made me feel welcome. The warm and inviting atmosphere in the main house made me feel like part of their family. Engaging conversations added to the enjoyable experience. I was impressed by Catherine and Angtak's commitment to preserving Ladakh's traditional textile skills. Their unique products showcased their passion and expertise, standing out from what you can find in Leh's markets. Their dedication was inspiring. Overall, staying with Catherine and Angtak was one of the most amazing experiences I've had. Their hospitality, warmth, and dedication to their craft make their house a remarkable place to visit. I highly recommend choosing them for your stay in Leh. It will be an extraordinary and memorable experience. Thank you !! I hope to visit again one day
Highly recommended, ist was really beyond expectations. What a wonderful cottage, with all these natural fabrics and beautiful furniture. A slice of paradise and friendly, caring and warmhearted hosts, so supportive :-) This is a slice of paradise and I definetely will be back - hopefully very soon. Thanks a lot!
Choglamsar Village is a very calm residential area. We are located in a neighbourhood which is very green and spacious.
From our home it is only a walk of 5 minutes to reach the highway where you can find buses and taxis. Otherwise, by taxi it only takes 15 minutes from the property to the center of Leh. If you have a car, we have car parking available.
自我介绍
Hi there! Originally, I am from Kharnak, a nomadic area in Eastern Ladakh. Together with my wife Catherine we have created our home here in Choglamsar.
