The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Delicious Cuisine

I was absolutely impressed with the dining options at Hotel Shambhala. The buffet included a good selection of Tibetan, Indian, and even western dishes. As someone who loves exploring local cuisine, the brilliantly prepared Ladakhi dishes made my meals an lovely experience. The homemade apricot jam made from the hotel's own trees was a standout!

Comfortable Modern Rooms

The rooms at Hotel Shambhala surpassed my expectations. They were spacious, equipped with all modern amenities, and came with a fantastic heating system that made my stay incredibly comfortable during chilly evenings. The convenience of the heated mattress was a particular blessing, especially after a long day of exploring.

Beautiful Garden Escape

One of my favorite spots at the hotel was the serene garden. I spent countless hours relaxing there, either reading a book or enjoying a peaceful cup of tea. The evenings sometimes featured a BBQ, which was lovely under the starlit sky. It was a tranquil retreat, perfect for unwinding after a day of adventures.

Convenient Parking Space

I appreciated that Hotel Shambhala offered decent parking space, which was essential for my motorcycling group. It made our stay much more convenient, as we didn't have to worry about finding parking or navigating busy areas. This factor alone highlighted the hotel's commitment to providing a hassle-free experience for guests traveling with vehicles.
