Welcome to Gyastak Homestay, a peaceful sanctuary tucked into the heart of Skiu village, where the journey into Markha Valley truly begins. Located within the breathtaking Hemis National Park and set along the banks of glacial streams flowing from Kangyatse I and II, our homestay is a place where the silence of nature and the warmth of Ladakhi hospitality come together.
To reach us, you’ll need to trek—a walk that winds through dramatic landscapes, over wooden bridges, and into the timeless rhythm of valley life. But every step brings you closer to something real: authentic culture, soul-soothing quiet, and a deep connection to the mountains.
At Gyastak Homestay, you’re not just booking a room—you’re stepping into a lived tradition. Stay in a simple, clean, and comfortable Ladakhi home built with local materials and deep care. Savor home-cooked meals made from local produce, and experience the flavors of our land served with pride and generosity. Whether it’s sipping butter tea, helping knead dough for skyu, or listening to stories by the hearth, every moment is part of our way of life.
Skiu is also the starting point for the Kangyatse Base Camp trek, making our homestay the perfect base for trekkers and explorers who want to rest, acclimatize, and connect with the land before heading deeper into the valley.
Our mission goes beyond hospitality—we’re committed to sustainable tourism that supports local communities, protects cultural heritage, and respects the fragile Himalayan ecosystem. By staying with us, you become a part of this vision.
At night, as stars blanket the sky and the valley grows quiet, you’ll feel something shift—a sense of stillness, belonging, and awe that stays with you long after you’ve left.
Julley and welcome to Gyastak. We’re ready to share our home with you.
