“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbour. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”
~ Mark Twain

Conceptualized as the finest luxury hotel in the Ladakh, The Grand Dragon Ladakh is the gold standard of luxury in the region, the finest place to stay when you visit Leh…
Food meditation is a mindful way of waking up to the miracles of ordinary life that we usually tend to ignore, a taste of the world to come. We experienced this all in Bikaner.
