Camping out in the land of the Lamas
Nestled in the hamlets of Ladakh, The Ultimate Travelling Camp (TUTC) welcomes India’s high season with a choice of three and four-night packages at the Chamba Camp in Thiksey-Ladakh from May 15 to October 10.
Visitors can discover the mystical energy of a Buddhist stupa and ancient stories of the divinities of Buddhism, as well as attend a sacred prayer ceremony at Thiksey Monastery, admire a beautiful sunset over Shanti Stupa overlooking the Old City of Leh and experience the traditional game of archery.
From an altitude of 3,350 metres, adventurers can send their adrenaline soaring by rafting down a glacier-fed river, cycling down mountain roads and watching a polo game then relax in the evening enjoying the exceptional services and a fantastic view of mountainous landscape. Luxury is exemplified by aesthetically beautiful tents furnished with wooden chandeliers, four poster beds, top-of-the-range linen and wooden period furniture.
The tents are triple layered and protected from the outside and the interiors are climate controlled to suit individual preferences. Each camp offers en-suite bathrooms with hot showers, in-house signature wash amenities, safe deposit, laundry service, private decks, unlimited Wi-Fi at the reception Tent, 24/7 security & a paramedic on site, round-the-clock electricity, a boutique, a library and the services of a personal butler.
TUTC’s in-house chef uses garden-fresh ingredients to prepare world-class cuisine featuring regional, Indian and international dishes. The packages start at Bt53,870. Find out more at www.Tutc.com.
