"Shambhala is a cozy
family-run hotel, set in an
apple orchard 1 km outside
Leh town". TIME Magazine,
November 27, 2000. In
Ladakhi folklore, paradise
is to be found in this world

northern region of 'Shambha-La'

this popular myth in our
beautiful resort located in

town. Its peaceful and
tranquil settings give new
meaning to the words 'sound
of silence'. The hotel is

late father, Sonam Narboo
was awarded the Padmashree
for distinguished services
to the nation, He
constructed the Leh Airport
in 1948, when Pakistan was
trying to occupy the region
at the time of partition of
the country. Leh - Srinagar

contribution to the country,
among many other
achievements. Mr. Narboo
himself has aslo been a
former minister for tourism
