The place is owned by a couple, Indrani and Vikram providing an exceptional hospitality ! Away from Leh and the dogs barking at night, we spent three very relaxing days. The food was always an impressive experience, with a romantic setup in the garden.

Rizin and his family are perfect hosts. The location is extraordinary.

Everything about Old Likkir Traditional Farmstay was exceptional. Starting with Stanzin and his family's hospitality, which is something to cherish. The room and the attached open space on the first floor of Stnzin's traditional house is the best one can get. It gets sunlight throughout the day, which adds to the comfort. Stanzin maintains his place really well and the room, linens, blankets were exceptionally clean. He also provides a large heater at night and that makes the room more than cosy. Dinner and breakfast are really wholesome, good and healthy, where you get to eat with Stanzin's family in a traditionally designed dining room within Ladakhi decor. There are two kitties at his place, and the older male one is a real cuddling treat. The village Likir is very beautiful, and Stanzin's place is right behind the famous Likir monastery, constructed in the eleventh century. Likir monastery, has quite a commendable collection of old Tibetan and Ladakhi manuscripts, exceptional bronzes and old murals. Stanzin's place is surrounded by farmlands and small streams away from the hustle and bustle of any highway. There's a traditional Ladakhi pottery workshop nearby, which preserves a many centuries-old Ladakhi tradition: disappearing fast in the age of industry-manufactured ceramics and pottery. The pottery place has a vibe of its own, and is a recommended visit. Likir is not too far from Alchi, so if one wants to visit Alchi, Likir is a better place to stay than Alchi, which is bit more hip and crowded after the publication of the Hirmer book on its murals. Stanzin can arrange a car, and the driver Norbu is a really good person, who himself was a Lama for ten years- for visits to nearby monasteries or to the airport in Leh. The village is also situated at a considerable height which makes the stay all the more peaceful.
