Goba Guest House

Leh


There’s a great spirit to the traditional main house, open year-round and topped with a prayer room and lovely rooftop panoramas. A more modern hotel-style block (open April to September) has 15 spacious en suite rooms. The garden is a veritable field from which homegrown organic vegetables form the mainstay of family-cooked dinners (book by 4pm).

Six of the hotel rooms have north-facing balconies looking towards the Shanti Stupa hill, but the nicest views are from the south-facing upper floor.
