About us
When we started out in 1980 as a small guesthouse, we were
simply a traditional Ladakhi family that had a few extra
rooms in their ancestral home, excited at the prospect of
playing host to friends from far away.
Twenty years on, and after being re-christened 'The Padma
Guesthouse & Hotel, we must undoubtedly have graduated into
a suave, sophisticated exponent of the hospitality industry
in Ladakh, right...? Not really.
After two decades of serving guests from practically every
country on the planet, we remain, essentially, what we were
when we began: a Ladakhi family with a large house where
we welcome friends.
While looking after our guests, we also attend to the daily
responsibilities that any traditional Ladakhi household
has. If it interests you, feel free to sit with our family
in the kitchen and enjoy a meal with us. Or, if you are
so inclined, watch us water our fields during the summer
months. Perhaps you could even try to participate in the
activity…!
At the end of a tiring day, come and have a cup of tea
with us in the sitting room. Mix with our children, or simply
sit back and relax in the atmosphere of a joint family.
Spend a quiet hour of contemplation in our family chapel,
or just watch some local TV.
