The Kyagar

The kyagar, nubra valley, is located in a beautiful valley, surrounded by pretty mountains. The The Kyagar is also very aesthetically and thoughtfully planned and made. The rooms are huge. The best part was the star gazing window in the ceiling, which can be controlled with a remote. But the maintenance is a major issue. The room was dirty, the sweeper just collected the dirt on the side of the room after sweeping. Big rolls of hair in the bathing area. Spiders and spider webs everywhere, not just far off ceiling corners, but next to the taps. And huge silverfish type insects, one was also on my bed. Tissue box was empty. And dust on the wooden furniture. The tea counter in the room was pretty, with a ceramic kettle, steel thermos to keep hot water, jar of floral teas, along with the regular stuff. The only problem i faced here was the regular tea bags were not sachets, but tea bags kept in the open in a bowl, which was accumulating dust. It can be a closed jar like the floral tea bags. Moreover on requesting for more closed tea bags(assam tea, it was delivered, but after a good 6 hours. The restaurant, has a pretty view and a bonfire area. It was lovely to sit there in the night. The The Kyagar staff promptly got us a speaker also ********ing music. The food, indian dishes were nice and homely. Whereas the thai and italian dishes we had ordered were left after tasting. Even the desserts were nothing to talk about. The highly recommended cake slice looked and tasted like a dry stale toast. One last point. The The Kyagar switched off the power in the night. Woke up in the night because the room became too hot. We had to leave early in the morning, and the geyser would not work due to no power. My friend had to blast them off to get to switch on the power back. That too took atleats half an hour. Overall, a decent experience, but could have been excellent.

We were a bit skeptic given the location and price of the The Kyagar. However, the experience was worth every penny. The rooms have enough privacy and breathtaking view. We were lucky to be there on a full moon night and thus the view from the room was like some thing from africa where you see plain land in front of you and mountains at the distance bathed in moonlight. The room had a skylight (electrically retractable) that will give you a view of the stars while you are lying down in your bed. The bed is electrically heated and thus it is a boon on colder nights. The owners also arrange a village walk and a tour to a 400 year old house to see and taste local culture, which is an added attraction. The food spread (we took a breakfast and dinner plan: and i would recommend that as there are no restaurants nearby) is one of the widest i found in ladakh and may be compared to the spread at any good The Kyagar in a metro city. The staff were cordial and take extra care for guests. Let me end by saying that this The Kyagar is not for bargain seekers so if you are looking for the low priced The Kyagar, this is not for you. However, if you are looking for a unique and exotic experience, this is worth every single rupee.

The moment you start driving down the khardungla pass the way nature unfolds itself, one gets spellbound. First look at the nubra valley and one starts to think, is it real ? when you reach kyagar one thinks how could they make this luxury possible in this far flung corner of the country. The staff, the way they have designed the property and the rooms ( specially the washroom), the management team needs to be congratulated. The staff goes out of the way to make it a unforgettable experience. Meals though with limited options, which is understandable owing to the difficulty in arranging things in that small village of sumur are delectable and worth experiencing. The local ladaki cuisine was a very pleasant surprise. I ended up eating more of it than the regular food we have. The river sachin flowing just a few minutes walk away from the The Kyagar is a highlight of the property. The calmness, serenity and the way property blends with the overall canvas of nature, is an experience worth taking. Lastly, the sky window in every room for star gazing while one lies in the bed is a very thoughtful touch. Kyagar compliments the beauty of nubra perfectly.

The kyagar is a beautiful property located in kyagar village. It is untouched village by tourists so it is surrounded by fresh air & calmness. The standards of the The Kyagar in terms of the room, service & food are 5 star. Food was excellent with a great spread. There was campfire in the evening (on request) other activities like cycling, picnic, etc are available on payment. The library is just so good. Don’t miss the village walk which they take you at 6pm everyday. One of a kind experience. We totally enjoyed the view of snow capped mountains from our room. So serene. I would go back to the kyagar any day

Wonderful location and very nice rooms. The food is very delicious. The The Kyagar is located in a fantastic, large property with a view of the himalayas. It is absolutely quiet. What bothered me are some discrepancies: the The Kyagar positions itself as a ‘sustainable The Kyagar’. However, the eggs are sourced from srinagar, not from local farmers. Also the butter is from amal, not from local farmers/organic. There are big problems with the regulation of the water temperature in the shower, this needs to be fixed. The competency level of the staff varies

I recently stayed at kyagar resort and was blown away by the stunning views from my room. The resort is situated amid-st the mountains, and the panoramic view of the surrounding mountains and valleys was simply breathtaking. The resort itself is also lovely, with well-manicured interiors and a peaceful atmosphere. Overall, i had an amazing stay and highly recommend kyagar resort for anyone looking for a relaxing getaway with a gorgeous view.

Big really big rooms. Beautiful architecture. The owner and managers are very welcoming. Heritage walk experience was amazing. The rooms and washrooms are so luxurious. Movie room and bonfire setup are amazing. Even library and telescope star gazing. Walkways are beautiful.

Turned out to be beyond what I expected. Property is beautiful so are rooms as very thoughtfully designed. Lot to offer within premise like star gazing, riverside, bonfire, village walk, library and more. Just get the cinema setup working as well. Rooms are spacious and sufficient for family with 2 kids as well. Also food quality and preparation is amazing.

Wonderful stay. Stunning views and sustainable living. Customised experiences. Amazing host Rinchen - welcoming, involved and well informed. Supporting local ecosystem and village life. Food was good but limited choice.
