“Impossible to write all my good time with this wonderful family. I will never forget you. You will forever be in my heart. I take with me a part of you and leave here a part of me! Ladakh is forever in my heart. Just wait for my return! With all my love…”

“I had no idea where Rochel and  I were coming when Martine directed our taxi driver up to Phyang…but our taxi driver delivered us into this wonderful piece of heaven. What a peaceful paradise Phyang is and especially, this home. From the moment we arrived we have felt part of this family, so welcomed and so looked after. Thank you for opening your home to us and to others!”

“I have been coming to Ladakh since 1985 and have seen many changes here. Your home has been an oasis of peace for me. You have all retained the traditional Ladakhi values of hospitality and sharing, while incorporating the broad worldview of modern education. You family is a model and gives me hope for Ladakhis future.”

“It was a great delight and honor being your guest for the past two weeks- to share part of your life. I will never forget our detours to your father’s house, your wonderful meals Sonam, walking together with you along the blue fields of thyme…”

“I can’t believe I’ve only been her for 4 weeks…I feel so much at home and surrounded by love. Your kindness and warmth has made me very happy here and the natural beauty, although fantastic, pales in comparison to the beauty of this family. Thank you for allowing me to help with the daily chores and to learn about Ladakhi life. It has truly been an amazing experience. You will always be in my heart!”

“Despite our altitude sickness and overall wackiness, you all were so comforting and understanding. Taking the tie to teach us essential Ladakhian facts was invaluable and we greatly appreciate it. Your home and openness were an incredible way to adjust to our time here. The community you have shown us alleviated all our nerves and anxieties about he rest of our trip. Thank you so much for all you have done, form the bottom of our hearts. With much love..”

“You are my home far away from home! My Ladakhi family..
From the first day I arrived here, I felt so welcome…talking in the kitchen, fetching water together, reading outside… I deeply respect the way you are living your lives here. After work there is always laughter, time for tea, and time for each other. At the same time you work so hard to make the house clean and comfortable, get your children a good education, and be good Buddhists. Impressive! And everything without tension and with big smiles!

Although I have met great host families in different parts of the world – you are definitely the one I will come back to.”

  1. I felt like I was at my own home. Most peaceful place with gentle and humble people. I was uncertain whether to make a trip to phyang or not but ended up going to phyang and staying here. Unfortunately, I stayed only for a night but I am certain that I would have regretted not staying here. Next time I visit Leh, I will be spending my time here. I am already missing Nono and Soma. Thanks so much Reinchan. I hope I have got all spelling right.

  2. We spent our first few days after arriving by plane in Ladakh in this very special home. No altitude sickness which we accredit to the excellent food, tea and comforts provided by this wonderful family. For us, travel is about experiencing different cultures in an authentic way. Rigzen, Puntsok, Sonam and Rinchen all contribute to this in their own very special ways. The beauty of the people, this home, the community is unforgettable. Thank you from the bottoms of our hearts for this perfect introduction to this amazing region.

    Thank You!
