Highs & Lows
-
Perfectly isolated at 8,000 feet. Allows time to reflect, soak up the stunning Himalayan scenery, and TURN OFF the iphone.
-
Absolute comfort and the guaranteed best sleep of your life. Wood burning stoves, floor-to-ceiling windows, solar-powered showers (they’re hot!), large and cozy beds with locally made blankets featured in each room.
-
An environment that pushes you to spend time outdoors, something that is rare and refreshing. Guided walks will bring you to quaint hill towns while more strenuous hikes may take you as high as 14,000 feet!
-
Excellent service, you will know the small and attentive staff by name at the end of your stay. The food is a fabulous mix of Indian, Tibetan and Middle Eastern (Continental too), and much of the produce comes from the organic garden onsite.
-
360º Leti is incredibly remote and requires travel on an overnight train from Delhi, a 4-hour drive followed by another 5-6 hour drive, ending with a 1-hour hike to the property. This is all part of the experience and is what makes the property so special… but you will get carsick!
