NIMMU HOUSE, LADAKH

Eco-friendly with sustainability at its heart

Tucked away in an orchard close to the confluence of the Indus and Zanskar rivers, this charming heritage hotel is the perfect base for trekkers and those looking to explore Ladakh’s cultural treasures.

Accommodation at this century-old Himalayan home comes in the form of four guestrooms in the main house and seven spacious tents dotted throughout the orchard. Interiors are a blend of Ladakhi traditions and modern comforts, with local materials, hot water showers and private bathrooms. Perched at an altitude of 3,000 metres, guests will find themselves enclosed by spellbinding Himalayan vistas.

A wonderful sense of tranquillity pervades Nimmu with its countless fruit trees, Buddhist temples, beautiful mountain setting and stables housing yaks, dzos and goats. Whilst being the ideal place to start or end a trek, the property also allows you to immerse yourself in the local culture with visits to nearby villages and monasteries. Guided yoga, rafting and mountain biking are also on the menu.

“YES TO ULTIMATE – AND YES AGAIN”
This was our second big trip with The Ultimate Travel Company – and we’d happily use them again and again. The customer service is excellent: they really listen to what you want and make it happen. Their on-the-ground support, wherever you’re headed, is just as strong. Everything was seamless. Highly recommend.

“EVERY TRIP EXCELLENT – AND MORE TO COME”
I’ve been on several small group holidays with The Ultimate Travel Company and every one has been outstanding. My most recent trip in February was no exception – expertly organised, responsive to questions, and full of memorable experiences. The itineraries are well thought out, the hotels top-notch, and the group sizes just right. Their tour leaders are knowledgeable, supportive and great company. I haven’t looked elsewhere since discovering Ultimate – and I’m already planning my next.

“WONDERFUL TREK IN NEPAL AND VISIT TO TIGER RESERVE”
From our very first phone call, The Ultimate Travel Company provided excellent service. We shared our ideas and they came back with a proposal that included everything we wanted – then improved it with thoughtful suggestions. We were especially impressed that our tailor-made holiday was competitively priced. Once on the ground, everything ran smoothly. We were met at each airport, stayed in fantastic hotels, and had a brilliant guide for our trek. A truly enjoyable and well-managed trip from start to finish.
