The Rooms
The rooms at Dolkhar are designed with a minimalist Ladakhi aesthetic, featuring wooden furniture, clean lines and tactile, locally sourced materials. Each of the villas feels calm with soft, earthy-toned rugs, yak-wool throws and cushions handwoven by women from Kharnak.
Each one feels spacious and inviting, with extra blankets tucked into carved wooden trunks and a balcony view that shifts with the seasons: snowy peaks in winter, apricot blossom in spring.
Bathrooms are modern and well-maintained, including handmade soaps infused with seabuckthorn, apple or apricot. Everything – from the textiles to the toiletries – supports Dolkhar’s commitment to a zero waste, zero plastic way of life.
