Stok Palace

Built entirely by the Ladakhi craftsmen in 1820, the Stok Palace in Ladakh is still a home of the Namgyal dynasty. It was opened to public in 1980 with blessings of His Holiness the Dalai Lama which was converted into a heritage hotel in 2008. The palace has charming little cafe and sex ‘secret’ guest rooms. 

The palace is not only a reflection of the lifestyle of the kings and queens of this remote kingdom, but also a piece of history itself. The breathtaking beauty of the Stok valley is just a bonus.

Idyllic Backwaters

Kerala has been a favourite haunt of travellers from around the world for nearly 600 years; it’s been known to exhilarate, enchant and enthral.

But above all, no trip to Kerala is complete without a languid boat ride on its idyllic backwaters. Lined by emerald coconut plantations and interspersed by turquoise lakes, these placid lagoons are the perfect place to shake off pent-up urban stress. 

For a special experience, cruise the palm-fringed backwaters of Kerala on board a private Kettuvallam, a traditional thatched houseboat. These houseboats have been plying the Kerala waterways for centuries, connecting villages along the backwaters and transporting rice, spices and other goods. A backwater cruise is the best way to experience Kerala's amazing beauty and get a glimpse of rural life along the backwaters.
