Chamba Camp, Diskit
Ladakh, India
Why we love it
At Chamba Camp, Diskit, you can experience culture on the roof of the world, with India’s first truly mobile camp. Relive the Glamping legacy of the British Raj in the camp’s luxurious tents, each with a private terrace, ensuite bathroom and shower cubicle. At Chamba Camp, you can experience the many moods of exotic India with its dramatic landscapes, rustic
and unexplored rural surroundings. This particular camp lies in the Nubra Valley, cradled by jagged mountains and golden sand dunes, and provides the opportunity to visit and walk through the beautifully preserved village of Diskit, another world from the mayhem of well-known Indian cities.
Enjoy a game of polo in its home country, where every goal is accompanied by songs and dance from traditional Indian instruments.
Be woken up by birdsong as you spot some of India's rare migrant birds, including sea buckthorn shrubs and white winged redstarts.

Follow one of the camp's guides through Ladakh's mudbrick hamlets, full of culture and history, and ending with a trip to the Oracle.
Explore the natural, rural and cultural treasures of Ladakh as you pass through the lush greenery and lunar mountainscape.
Hop on a raft and into the Indus River for a splash around, passing monasteries along the way, and ending with a picnic lunch.
