It was truly a boutique property as advertised and ticked all the boxes... Food was exceptional in quality and presentation. It was a superb fusion of Ladakhi ingredients and recipes with contemporary style. We went there for a couple of meals and ended up staying with them for 3 nights....!!! Totally unplanned and totally worth it....!! The staff and the gracious owner, Ms.Rigzin, went out of their way to help us source a few of the things she had used in her resort. The rooms were in Duplex style with common area at the bottom and the bed room and bathroom on the first floor. Very stylish furniture and accessories, all with a Ladakhi twist. Heating and Air conditioning were excellent and did not feel like LEH in November... (Outside temperature was -3 degrees Centigrade at night..!!) All in all one of the best places to stay in LEH for my money....

Non-Vegetarian food was not available so if you are a Non-Veg fan this place is to be avoided..... Also the Television in the room did not have any OTT Apps installed and apparently did not have the facility to download the same inspite of it being a SMART TV.... This should be addressed so guests have the option to watch content with their own login credentials instead of being limited to YouTube....!!

We stayed in off season (February) for 5 nights and it was an amazing 5 star resort experience. Staff was exceptionally friendly polite, sympathetic and helpful. The Tsas restaurant is outstanding and the complimentary 5 star - Ladakhi curated breakfast is an experience we never had before. The area is peaceful and we also used the well maintained complimentary spa and sauna area. The massage treatment was very helpful for my wife with a tense back. Feedback for the rooms: The air here in Ladakh is quite dry, therefore a humidifier in the villas might help the guests adjusting. The sofa area can be quite cold in winter so either sealed doors or additional heating near the sofa would be more comfortable. Thr upstairs bedroom and bathroom was very comfortable and warm.

We could not be more grateful to have chosen Dolkhar Resort as our base for exploring Ladakh in late September 2024. The overall experience was beyond perfect and really made a huge difference to our travel. We were so impressed by how everything was coherent and beautifully curated in such remote location. The property is really flawless and done in such good taste. Everything is sustainable without any compromise on the comfort and aesthetics. We loved every detail of it. Their lovely staff helped us arrange everything before coming and define the itineraries for both the local trips while staying in Leh as well as the few days trip to the more remote locations. Everyone was extremely kind and looked after us during our stay. We ate at Tsas restaurant everyday and tried probably all the dishes which were local or modern interpretation of the local cuisine and each time it was a beautiful experience. It was clear to us that the people behind Dolkhar have put a lot of heart and thought to make this place so special. Thank you so much to everyone at Dolkhar for this exceptional experience and making our travel so perfect and easy.

Everything was perfect

This is a great design / boutique hotel, with all comfort of a 5 star hotel. The whole property and the garden are really beautiful, the food is excellent.

The eco-friendliness and the theme of the property, with its color palette, decor, simplicity and use of natural products and inclusion of natural artisanal work was exemplary. In addition, Dolkhar makes you feel at home, providing you with a sense of independence way from home, and also a sense of calm and peace that one envisions as part of travel. Courtesy and compassion are embedded with smiles and gratitude. The staff takes much care and goes beyond. Kudos.

Explicit information regarding no use of eggs / boutique cuisine (vegan/vegetarian) on Booking.com, is a good addition. Use of more total sugar-free items would also be good for the menu + adding photos would be much delightful.

Amazing. I can’t say enough about how much we enjoyed our time at Dolkhar. For context, I’ve traveled for leisure in 5 continents, and my stay at Dolkhar was one of the best hotel/guesthouse/resort experiences I’ve ever had. First: Ishey (I hope I’m spelling her name correctly) was an incredibly professional, thoughtful, and gracious manager/concierge. She was on top of everything we needed (and things we didn’t even know we needed). You can tell Dolkhar is run extremely well because that level of professionalism and courtesy is expressed by all its staff. Property: what can I say- the villas are nearly flawless. Everything you see in photos are as beautiful or even better in person. Gorgeous, thoughtful architecture that mixes traditional Ladakhi aesthetics with modern minimalism set amongst tall sunflowers and wildflowers. The marriage between form and function is perfectly harmonious. Even during our stay in chilly late October, the villas were warm and cozy. They provided tasty healthy snacks and various teas in the room. Sometimes comfort is sacrificed for sustainable practices but that was never the case at Dolkhar. They have perfected the balance. I greatly appreciate the focus on sustainability in a town (and world) where these practices are greatly needed. The food was delicious. Even as a voracious meat-eater back home, I loved the mostly vegan menus for breakfast and dinner. They have an adorable bar upstairs for resort guests with delicious cocktails. The location is a bit outside of the center of Ley, but we’re talking about a very short relative distance. Ishey arranged taxis/cars for us at our convenience throughout our stay. While it might cost a bit more than your average accommodation in Ley, you are paying for an amazingly serene experience at a place that practices the environmental conscientiousness that it preaches.

The first thing you notice is that it feels like heaven — everything is accurate and precise. The second is that not a single worker fails to smile and make you feel welcome.

Honestly, there’s nothing I would change — everything was exactly as it should be. The only thing I might suggest, just as an extra touch, would be adding a hot tub or jacuzzi to complete the experience.

Tastefully designed property with warm staff/ impeccable service, excellent restaurant and food options. We loved everything about Dolkhar and couldn’t have asked for a better place to start our trip in Ladakh! It was also located in a quieter part of Leh, yet still close to the old town and market.

The only thing was that shower water pressure was a little low.

The Dolkhar Resort surpassed my expectations in every way. From a team that was beyond attentive to the understated but intentional and serene grounds and facilities, to the best food in town, selecting the Dolkhar for my stay in Leh made for an exceptional experience. Thank you to such a stand out team at an amazing destination.

This is our first trip to Leh, we were worried about the high altitude sickness. The welcome staff at Dolkhar resort made us feel right at home. They looked after us so well, we came back from our road trip to stay 01 more night before our flight out. During 3 days stay, we tried 90% of their menu and all dishes are exceptional. The dining sets in a beautiful garden of apple and poplar trees. We highly recommend!

Absolutely nothing
