The short answer
Chamba Camp Diskit: what visitors should know first
Choose this if you want a genuinely comfortable stay in Nubra and can afford a premium rate; tents are heated, staffed and meals are included. It only operates May to September, so check dates before booking, and it isn't the cheapest way to see the valley.

Why it matters
Why Chamba Camp Diskit is worth your time
Chamba Camp Diskit is part of a small but growing category of high-end tented camps in Ladakh that try to bridge two different kinds of traveller: those who want the romance and views of a remote camp setting, and those who aren't willing to give up proper beds, attached bathrooms and cooked meals to get it. Its Nubra location specifically opens up a part of Ladakh that historically had far fewer comfortable options than Leh itself.
For senior or less mobile travellers in particular, a camp like this can make the difference between skipping Nubra altogether and visiting comfortably, since it removes the worry of a very basic guesthouse at altitude. It doesn't replace the valley's monasteries and villages as the reason to come, but it changes what a Nubra trip can feel like for people who'd otherwise stick to Leh.
Highlights
What not to miss
- 01
Concrete-decked tents
Executive and Luxury Suite tents both sit on solid decks rather than bare ground, a real comfort difference at altitude.
- 02
Included meals and butler service
Breakfast and dinner are part of the stay, served in the restaurant or in-tent on request.
- 03
A base for the whole valley
Staff arrange trips to Hunder, Diskit Monastery and Turtuk, making the camp a comfortable hub rather than an isolated stay.

How to experience it
Chamba Camp Diskit is a seasonal luxury tented camp, open only from May to September, set up in Nubra Valley near Diskit village. Guests stay in one of two tent categories, Executive or Luxury Suite, both pitched on solid concrete decks rather than bare ground, which makes a real difference to comfort in a region where ground-level camps can feel damp and uneven. Breakfast and dinner are included, served either in the camp restaurant or, on request, in your tent.
The camp positions itself as a base for the valley's main activities rather than a destination in its own right: staff can arrange visits to the Hunder dunes, Diskit Monastery, Turtuk village and camel safaris, and the location puts you within a reasonable drive of all of them. It's aimed squarely at travellers who want to see Nubra without roughing it, at a price that reflects that comfort.
Because it only opens for five months a year, book well ahead for peak summer weeks, and confirm current rates directly with the camp, since tented luxury pricing in Ladakh changes from season to season.
Plan with confidence
Before you book the room.
- Book well ahead for peak summer weeks, especially July and August
- Confirm current rates and inclusions directly with Chamba Camps before booking
- Check the exact opening and closing dates for your travel year
- Ask about tent heating; nights are cold even in summer at this altitude
- Arrange valley excursions through the camp rather than separately, since staff coordinate transport

Is Chamba Camp Diskit open all year?
No, it operates seasonally, from May to September. Outside that window it's closed, so check dates before planning a trip around it.
Is it suitable for older travellers?
Yes, more so than a basic village guesthouse: proper beds, attached facilities and included meals make it a comfortable option, though it's still a tented camp rather than a hotel with lifts and hard walls.
Can I visit for a meal without staying overnight?
There's no standard day-visit programme; ask the camp directly if a meal-only visit is possible when you're passing through.
