Accommodation in Ladakh
I was trying to figure out the accommodation in Leh. I went through the popular hotel booking site (makemytrip, yatra, cleartrip). Result I got was not pleasant.
result from makemytrip:
There is a offer going on makemytrip. most economical was Rs 3360 for two days for two person, so cost is 840/person/day.
result from cleartrip:
They have only one result Rs6747 for two person two days. So cost is Rs1687/person/day.
result from yatra:
most economical was Rs4024 for two person for two days. So cost is Rs1006/person/day.
While I was doing research on Leh, I came across the JK Tourism guset houses(Tel: 01982252094), so I called and get the information that double bed room guest house are available from Rs250 to Rs1000 for one day. So cost range from Rs125 to Rs500/person/day.
But the booking process is bit tedious, you have to write a application and send to Tourist office in Leh, then they will process it to make it happen, you can do it after reaching there, but there are chances that those guest house might be full that time. In peak season prior booking to these guest house is highly advisable.
After researching the online hotel booking site and govt tourist guest house, I tried other hotels and tried to contact then and deal I received are
- Rs1000 for one double bedroom for one day, So the cost is Rs500/person/dayRs300 for extra bed.
- Rs1050 for one double bedroom for one day(this include breakfast), So the cost is Rs525/person/day and Rs300 for extra bed.
- Rs700 for one double bedroom for one day (with breakfast), So the cost is Rs350/person/day.
And they book it through phone and pay when you reach there. All you have to do is to call them and tell them how many room, check-in & check-out date.
Accommodation constitute a significant chunk of your travel budget, bit of information before hand might help big time if you want to do it in budget.
That is all for now. Feedbacks are welcome.
