The Riverstone Retreat
Address: Shel, Rabstan House, Shey–Chuchot Road, Shashi Zampa, Shey/Thiksey, Ladakh 194201
Getting Here
A 9 hour drive from Delhi
It's an easy 450 km ride from Delhi. Just hop in the car, roll down the windows, and let the mountain breeze ruffle your ears. Once you arrive, we'll be waiting with wagging tails and wet-nose welcomes.
Set on a private 1.5-acre estate near Shey, this contemporary home has a traditional soul. Built using re-used materials from an older generational home. The design is deliberately minimal so the mountains get to do the talking. The best part? The retreat is typically offered as a complete buyout for one guest group at a time, so it’s private, peaceful, and beautifully undisturbed. The Indus (Sindhu) River is a short walk away, and the Shey Marshes nearby are one of Ladakh’s best birding spots.

Rooms That Tell a Story
