Tukchu Home-stay, for people who love to interact and see the traditionalway of living with modern amenities. Home constructedin traditional manner. A home away from home. Quiet and peaceful location and one can have a beautiful view of Leh City. Located just below famous Shanti-Stupa in Chanspa area of Leh city.
Places to stay are graded on a 0-100 scale. The higher the grade, the easier it is for travellers to find restaurants and things to do within walking distance.
Loved every minute of our stay at Tukchu home stay. This will without doubt be my base, everytime I visit Ladakh henceforth.
Located just below the Shanthi Stupa, it isn’t quite walkable from the market, but the calmness of the surrounding makes up for that.
Mr.Tashi’s family and staff left no stone unturned to ensure maximum comfort during our stay. They served up amazing stories about the history of the region, kept us well-fed with great food, and ensured all rooms were well-heated throughout our stay. The rooms are well-appointed, spacious, and really neat bathrooms.
The highlight for me was the common sitting room with it’s heating and the views of the mountains.
Must be easily amongst the top #3 homestay options in Leh.

We stayed in Tukchu Homestay and it was simply awesome. ... Complete homely feel, ...care and food. People are warm and they helped us to get through the experience of acliamatization We also ate- Wheat based, baked poori ....which they call Khambi in their local language. Don't miss this. Try this with peanut butter, Jam and Omlette. It was amazing.

An amazing stay in this homestay. Everything is fabulous (breakfast and dinner are delicious, rooms are very clean and confortable, home is very beautiful and quiet, fantastic garden). Just Go! And this family is very nice. It's just 10-15 min from leh center, at the bottom of Stupa, good to see sunshine.

My friends and I travelled to Ladakh last fall and we spent three days at Tashi’s guest house: it was the perfect place to stay!
At our arrival, Tashi and his family have been very welcoming and we shared some very pleasant time discussing about Ladahk and Buddhism. They have been of a great help for organizing our trek in the Markha valley and when we came back from the trek, it was like being back home! The place is really peaceful and cosy, the view is incredible and the food is delicious- especially the momos! :) We spent hours just sitting in the lovely living room, staring at the mountains or reading one of the books lent by Tashi. And, if you ever want to leave the place to visit the city town, it’s only 15 minutes walking.
I strongly recommend this place and I’m looking forward going back to see Tashi and his family again.

We stayed a night and loved it, Its reasonably priced. The service levels are great - everyone is out to make you feel comfortable and loved! Flowers, cherries, apricots and apples - all trees right next to you. 5 min walk from ChangsPa market and 15-20 min walk from Leh Market. If you are looking for peace and quiet, yet walkable distance from the markets, this is it!

This is a lovely place with a range of rooms. I was fortunate to have the newly built self contained apartment for my extended stay, but the rooms in the home-stay itself also looked well kept with a nice clean and friendly vibe about the whole place.

We stayed for 4 nights at tukchuk homestay...the family was extremely humble and gave a warm welcome to us. Mr.Tashi and his entire family is very sweet and each member made all efforts to make us feel comfortable while we were acclimatizing. The rooms are same as shown in the pics on website and in other reviews, absolutely neat and clean...they spacious and bathrooms as well. The homestay is approx 15 mins walk from the main city. They made us taste local cuisine and helped us with simple home made delicious food. At the altitude of 11,500 one should keep in mind to eat in small quantities and drink more water and fluids; because of altitude and cold...kne may come across indigestion and gastric troubles...so to have home made food is seriously recommend for a pleasant trip. The view from homestay are breathtaking, it's very near to shanti stupa.Mr.Tashi is best guide to plan itinerary and also helped with local cab booking and other stuff. The place is highly recommended for stay...please don't think much about distance from city center as its a hilly terrain and you will have to walk anyways around the city...this place offers you all the comfort you need keeping in mind at the possible discomfort and health issue any one can face in leh.

Without even thinking twice, book your stay at Tukchu. Mr.Tashi and his wife Skarma, and their whole entire family, really are the warmest, kindest people we have ever met. They will go out of their way to give you the most comfortable stay possible, along with simple, yet incredibly delicious meals, that will warm both your tummy and your heart. Because it was my friend's birthday during the trip, they even brought her cake and adorned her with a white stole as a sign of honor.
I think what makes this particular homestay stand out to me is the personal care and attention they give to each individual, so much so that you forget for a moment, that you are staying at someone else's home. Both the home and Mr. Tashi's family, feel so much like our own after our 7 day stay. Oh, and did I mention? they have a fantastic view of snowcapped mountains (we went in March, so luckily there was still snow) that makes the perfect accompaniment to the endless cups of tea and biscuits they serve everyday :)
I don't have enough words to recommend this place. Please, please go.

Tukchu Homestay allows you to interact with Tashi's family & other guests in the house which provides a more intimate vacation. The house with 3-storey glass panels, easily stands out from other houses in the area. The place is extremely clean, warm and cosy, that I forgot about my home back in Singapore. Ladakh is beautiful, but this homestay would be the highlight of one's trip.
My group of 6 friends, weren't the easiest people to accommodate. One of us got into a bike accident, our flight got cancelled, and we accidentally caused Tashi's blankets to be drenched wet on the 1st day. Despite all, Tashi & family gave nothing back, but love & care. Tashi gave the brilliant idea to travel straight from Nubra to Pangong, which saved us a 7 hr road trip, patiently connected our phones to wifi, recommended his brother, Namkal, for transport (who is a great young chap), helped book urgent flight tickets out of Leh using his own credit card, & arranged for alt. transport when the flight was cancelled.
Tashi's wife, Skarma & his sister, Dholma, also deserve special mention for accompanying us throughout when our friend was injured after the bike accident. And, for having delicious dinner waiting for us when we returned from road trips. Tashi & his family helped us like there was no limit. We will always be grateful.

I was in Leh to conduct research for my thesis and wandered into Tukchu home stay during peak tourist season. Acho Tashi immediately welcomed me in and within a few days I felt as if I was a part of the family. Achey Skarma would yell at me for making a mess of the kitchen, Idzin and I would watch anime together, Dolma and I would spend hours chatting ... I cannot put in words how grateful I am to have been accepted by such a wonderful and incredibly loving family.
The house is spacious and located a short walk away from the hustle and bustle of Leh town. I enjoyed the isolation because I wanted to be able to read and spend time with the family, given that I was in Leh for five weeks, but some may not find this aspect favourable (although I don't think it's reason to complain). The food is homemade and absolutely delicious, there's wifi, clean drinking water, a washing machine, the garden is beautiful -- everything you could ask for! Thank you thank you thank you so much for everything, Acho Tashi. I miss you all every single day.

Hi, When you will start from Shanti stupa to the Leh town, there is a narrow road after half km on right hand side. You may miss it easily as it is not tarmac road and narrow. It is not in the city center. Hence you require a vehicle to go to the city.
There are more places to choose from in the Leh area.
