About the property:

The brown and beautiful Ladakhi Mountains just look more enchanting when you gaze at them from a place like Nimmu House, a heritage boutique hotel in Ladakh. Be here to discover the authentic Ladakhi way of life and take back impressions of their pure culture.Nimmu House has been crafted in a manner that it fits in your modern living, yet makes you practice the ethics of responsible tourism. For instance, you get hot water from solar panels. To put it aptly, a stay at the Nimmu House would introduce you to little nuggets of Ladakh tossed in a fairy-tale pan – a pretty orchard of walnuts, apricots and apples, a cute stable with yaks, dzos, cows and goats, and the intriguing, old Buddhist temples.The hotel has three different styles of stay options – the house, the tents and the rooms. However, all of them have a common thread of tradition. You can savour breakfast and lunches with the surreal views of the mountains, while the dinner can be enjoyed in the old winter kitchen, which is converted into a spacious traditional dining room, adorned with many antiques.Avid readers can spend time at Nimmu’s library, which has books on Ladakhi and Tibetan culture, Buddhism, Yoga and Meditation, Stories of Himalayan exploration, and more. If you want to try your hand at cooking, you can learn to make momos and apricot tarts. Also, step out to explore the village, its monasteries, old caravanserai, gardens and orchards. The adventurous kind can go for rafting on the Indus or on the Zanskar in the morning.Nimmu House is an extract of the world called Ladakh.
