Lchang Nang
It is hard not to fall in love with this charming eco-friendly retreat hidden in the Valley. Lchang Nang is a garden oasis in Nubra Valley, high Himalayas. Only a four-hour drive from Leh, Lchang Nang is a tranquil piece of heaven set amidst an orchard of elm, apple and apricot trees, further blessed by the continuous flow of the Siachen river. Lchang Nang's strong concept balances two elements: a commitment to the past by honoring traditional Ladakhi cultural elements, and a vision of a better future through eco-friendly tourism initiatives.
