“There is a kind of magic about going far away and then coming back all changed.” Kate Douglas Wiggins
Thats the journey to Ladakh….located at the highest, one of the most remote parts of the world and least populated region in India , cut off by snow for six months each year and where Buddhists have meditated since three centuries before Christ! The journey will not be as arduous now as it used to be !! With the changing times and innovative ideas, we bring to you an opportunity to bask in the comforts of the ULTIMATE TRAVELLING CAMP at Chamba Thiksey and experience an adventure fit for the Maharajas of yore, be it with the luxurious furnishings or the attention to detail, by your personal valet. Savour the culinary offerings, which would put many a Royal Kitchen to shame! TUTC encapsulates the essence of modern luxury, reminiscence of the days of the Raj effortlessly , and lets you surround yourself with alfalfa fields while viewing the Majestic Thiksey Monastery, if not exploring the barren beauty of the land!
Ladakh A land of varying landscapes, from white deserts to blue skies, ice-capped mountains to lush valleys, Ladakh, like a dream captured in a snow globe is wildly beautiful milieu set between the Kunlun Mountains and the Himalayas. Spectacularly jagged, arid mountains enfold this magical, Buddhist ex-kingdom. Picture-perfect gompas dramatically crown rocky outcrops amid whitewashed stupas and meditational mani walls topped with mantra-inscribed pebbles. Colourful fluttering prayer flags spread their spiritual messages metaphorically with the mountain breeze. Prayer wheels spun clockwise release more merit-making mantras. Gompa interiors are colourfully awash with murals and statuary of numerous bodhisattvas. Ladakh’s remarkably well-balanced traditional society has much to teach each one of us in terms of ecological awareness. Located in a valley just north of the Indus River is Leh, the capital of Ladakh, a region often referred to as ‘Little Tibet’. The century’s old culture of this picturesque capital city finds expression in its monuments, monasteries, oral literature, art forms, fairs and festivals.
The Ultimate Travelling Camp The Ultimate Travelling Camp introduces luxury camping in India through it’s Chamba Camp at Thiksey.

Rediscover yourself ... meet gurus from the far reaches of the Himalayas, raft down the River Indus, watch a game of Polo, a sport of the Royals, picnic in picturesque spots, or simply curl up in your ‘tent with a view’ and so much more... Exclusivity and detailed customisation with limited inventory ensures that the camp will revolve around the pace and need of the guests – be it the unobtrusive service, gourmet meals or customised itinerary.

The screened doors and windows offer panoramic views of the terrain with each private sit-out allowing for a exclusive vantage view. The central tent or lounge is well placed and cosy, with a separate bar and dining. A team of highly experienced and skilled chefs use a selection of meats, fresh salads, locally sourced herbs and other produce, fruits and freshly baked bread to present gourmet meals that offer both quality and variety. The ambience, multi-course meals and the fine selection of wine promises you an unmatched evening experience. The service is unobtrusive yet attentive, with the staff effortlessly adding to the luxury of location and experience. Each of the two tents have a valet attached ensuring guests have the best possible personalised attention. The highly trained hosts and camp naturalist discuss the itinerary suggested, offering options to customise your excursions to suit your interests, choices and leisure.
