At Travel Dirty, we believe where you stay shapes how you experience a place, which is why we prioritize Ladakhi homestays. Staying with local families offers a deep cultural connection, supports community livelihoods, and ensures tourism benefits those who call Ladakh home. However, we also recognize the need for comfort, especially after long journeys or high-altitude adventures. That’s why we carefully balance our stays between cozy, locally-run hotels and traditional homestays. This mix allows travelers to experience authentic Ladakhi hospitality while also ensuring rest and rejuvenation when needed—without compromising our commitment to responsible travel.
