    That we had to leave. Did not like that one bit.

    Rigzin and Jizmet are the kind of hosts that every guest dreams of having. The place is exquisite and the kind of service is like no other. The food that is served at every meal feeds your soul. The property is a little piece of paradise on earth. If you are somebody who truly appreciates good people and nature… this is the place to hide out at. Thank you for having us, we are touched by your hospitality.

    No. It was perfect.

    It was so beautifully situated on the Indus River. All the staff - especially Jigmet - were so welcoming and bent over backwards to make our stay perfect. Jigmet even took us on a walk to a camel sanctuary, pointing out particular aspects of the landscape and Ladakhi architecture. The food is delicious and you are served so much of it.

    Absolutely nothing

    The views The tranquility The food Spotlessly clean bungalow with crisp fresh linen and luxury topper. Eco friendly. The incredible staff - special mention to management Jikmet and Prachi - they pay attention to everything and are truly there to take care of you! They provided us with everything we needed, helped us in every way they could for our trip, with grace and a smile on their face. They made everything so so easy for us. Service is hands down better than any 5star hotel we have been to in India. Nico and Mary - such amazing hosts. There is a calm that comes with their presence. It’s like a warm sense of security - it’s quite honestly rare to feel it amongst “strangers.” Indus River Camp is more than just a holiday accommodation - it’s a retreat to nature, a nudge to grounding your senses, a pull to be better human beings. The staff emulate this daily with their kindness. Such a humbling place that people like us who try to find meaning in life, can truly appreciate. If you speak this same language, you will absolutely love it here. A genuine gem in Ladakh - a must stay if/when you’re in the area. We booked for 2 days, we stayed for 4, wish we stayed for 6!

    Nothing really. Maybe a fireplace inside the room? (just kidding)

    This place is as perfect as one could be. Right on the banks of Indus, with stellar views of the valley, super courteous hosts (Nico, Jigmet, Salman and team were amazing), delicious food (the parwal, kaddu type sabzis we had here would put most five star Niharis and Chettinad Chickens to shame). As we were with kids, the acclimatization hiccups slowed us down. But we didn't really regret this, as the hosts were so caring and the property is breathtakingly beautiful.

    Nothing.

    This little place, for us it is heaven on earth. From the warm welcome to the stunning view and the beautiful nature area - we love everything, the cottages are clean & lovely, the food was fresh and delicious - but mostly the whole wonderful staff and not to forget the great and fluffy campdog Momo. Indus river camp is just amazing in every aspect. Initially we booked three nights but ended up staying for over one week. Thank you so much for making our stay that special. We will definitely come back.

    Minor quibble - there was no option to have a-la carte dinner, so we were obliged to pay for the entire buffet course even though we weren't that hungry.

    The property is simply amazing - super calm and peaceful, and a treat for all your senses. You could spend all day blissfully sitting next to the Indus river, reading a book or simply gazing at the sky. The hosts are very kind and welcoming, and the entire staff is super sweet.

    The Property is located bag on the river Indus . it’s got lovely surroundings both inside and around . A place you can relax and chill . Rooms are well appointed with great views (would have been nice to have a Coffee/ Tea maker) Nico , Salman , Jigmet and Mary who run/ own the property are hands on and extend all the help you need. If I travel back to Ladhak would definitely love to stay here again .

    Cannot think of anything

    The location of the rooms on the banks of the river Indus was superb. Views of mountains all around were marvellous. The tranquility of the place along with the facilities made for a superb start to our holiday in Ladakh. Food was simple yet delicious---freshly cooked and tasty. All staff were very supportive. On the first day we arrived early and while waiting for our room, the host Nicholas treated us to some very nice tea and locally made Krackjacks. We felt at home immediately. We would highly recommend this place to our friends and family

    Nothing major.

    We had a wonderful time at The Indus River Camp. Nico, Mary, and the entire crew took really good care of us. The property is located a little outside of Leh city, in the Chuchot village. It's spread wide across the Indus river bank with a small pond, tall trees, lush greenery, and small pathways through it leading here and there. It felt amazing to just wander through it - it was serene and calming. Nico also gave a nice tour of the spots we might have missed otherwise. We also crossed the stream in front of our bungalows to collect pebbles and stones from the Indus. Our rooms were cozy, clean, comfortable, well equipped, and well maintained. The beds were comfy and we all had good sleep. The bathrooms were clean and had running hot water. We could see the distant snow-topped mountains, the Shey palace, and the Thiksey monastery from our room. The night sky was also amazing with the stars and the moon visible so clearly (they also have a telescope at the common area). All the food we had - lunch, breakfast, and dinner - was very good. It was always fresh, homely, served hot, and delicious. Special mention for the Bengali chicken curry, Aloo Jeera, the chicken biryani, and the desserts. The service, throughout our stay from check in to the restaurant to the check out (at 4 AM), was excellent - eager, helpful and friendly. Overall, an excellent experience.
