Tucked away in the quiet village of Skui, about 70 km southwest of Leh, Khangchik Homestay offers a peaceful, authentic Ladakhi experience in the heart of Markha Valley. Surrounded by dramatic mountain landscapes and located within the Hemis National Park, this family-run homestay is ideal for travelers seeking both nature and cultural immersion.
Please note: Reaching Skui requires a short trek, typically starting from Chilling village, followed by a scenic walk along the river and through the valley. The effort is worth it — the journey itself is part of the experience, with panoramic views, fresh air, and complete detachment from the rush of urban life.
Once you arrive, you’ll be welcomed into a traditional Ladakhi mud-brick home, where comfort meets simplicity. The rooms are clean and cozy, offering a quiet rest after a day of trekking. Guests are served home-cooked meals made from fresh, local ingredients, offering a true taste of Ladakhi cuisine and hospitality.
Skui is a common halt on the Markha Valley trek, making Khangchik Homestay a perfect place to rest, recharge, and take in the local way of life. The village also houses an 11th-century Buddhist monastery, founded by Rinchen Zangpo, which adds to its spiritual charm.
Whether you’re trekking through the valley or simply yearning for a deeper connection with Ladakhi culture and nature, Khangchik Homestay offers more than just a stay — it offers an experience rooted in tradition, warmth, and the rhythm of the mountains.
Come walk, stay, and feel at home in Skui.
