Mahey Retreat

Scroll

Just ten minutes’ walk from the centre of Leh, the hotel is built right next to a 100 year-old Ladakhi home. Overlooking the magnificent Stok range of mountains, the hotel has 17 deluxe rooms, each with a mountain view. Modern in comfort and facilities, yet completely traditional in its ethos, Mahey Retreat is known for its genuine Ladakhi hospitality and warmth. Adjacent to sprawling family fields that grow most of the vegetables needed for your meals, you are made delightfully aware of a typical Ladakhi lifestyle as you watch your host family tend to the fields early in the morning, all from the comfort of your centrally heated, well equipped room. Situated in a quiet neighbourhood, you are assured of a peaceful stay, far from the tourist hustle, bustle and noise and yet never more than a short leisurely walk away from the sights and sounds of the city.  The hotel comes equipped with central heating, Wi-Fi access, 24-hour heated water supply, generator backup and room service.

Naturalist guides were brilliant. We seem to have been given the best one in each place. Had same one for whole of stay in each place. Cultural guides gave just enough information and then left you to ask questions about what interested you which is what we like. They did not seem to have a set patter. Helpful about photographic sites – i.e. good position to take photos.

[OVERALL STANDARD OF SERVICE] Excellent isn’t good enough. In every place we were treated like royalty. Totally relaxed and felt totally safe but not smothered.

[WILDLIFE HIGHLIGHTS] 11 tigers, innumerable rhino, wild elephants, buffalo, otters, hog and swamp deer, and wild boar. Birds at Keoladeo excellent. Watched leopard and three cubs at Siana for 1.5 hrs of exceptional viewing.

An outstanding holiday which far exceeded our expectations. Many people would enjoy it I’m sure.
