The Ultimate Travelling Camp, Chamba Camp, Thiskey

The Chamba Camp is the luxury adventurer’s dream.

Tucked away in the land of the Lamas, this exclusive camp is the ideal getaway for those seeking the spiritual soul of the Himalayas, its centuries of heritage and its awe-inspiring landscapes.

Witness the Thiskey monastery and Nyerma’s active nunnery, and stumble upon the thousand-year-old Buddhist university and the chorten ruins. Embark on a rafting adventure as the Indus weaves you through the mountains. Try your hand at traditional sports like archery and polo, or even discover a new culinary skill, preparing Ladakhi hot soups and other regional delights back at camp.

What we love

All tents are spacious, fitted with large windows that present wonderful views of the Himalayas, and private patios for romantic stargazing
Perfect for the adventure traveller, with spectacular hiking routes, exhilarating rafting on the Indus River, traditional polo and archery too
Soak in the alpine heritage, discover active nunneries, pray with Thiskey monks at sunrise and watch traditional Ladakhi dance performances
Guests frequently praise the service. Many of the staff are from the local area, proud of their heritage and are passionate about sharing it with you

There are fewer restaurants close to the camp than there would be next to a hotel in the city, but guests can enjoy soul-warming mok-mok and thukpa, and have the experience of learning to prepare new food with local families

For those looking for 100% authentic design, note that their tents are from South Africa and not the local region, but the interior work and furnishings are selected from various regions of India, and there’s plenty of culture to be discovered outside of camp

WiFi does not reach the tents and is only available in communal areas - but if you’re here to switch off, there’s no better way

Families are welcome but amenities are not designed with families in mind.

Surrounded by the peaks of the Himalayas in Thiksey Naga, close to the Thiskey mona and a 30-minute drive from Kushok Bakula Rimpochee Airport in Leh.

What our travellers say

We went to Sri Lanka as a three-generation family of three. The superb trip was organised by Samanthie and the team and it's difficult to see how it could have been bettered.

Roy Wood (February 2026)

Red Dot organised the most wonderful 3-week holiday for us. Samanthie built a trip around the amazing sights we had requested visiting, together with her own suggestions and a wide mix of hotels, which gave us the flavours of both traditional Sri Lanka and the sleek, stylish contemporary version of the country. Our Driver made the whole experience incredibly special for us.

Alie C (February 2026)

I can’t thank Cherylle and the Red Dot team enough for their meticulous planning of our family holiday to India travelling through Rajasthan over Christmas. As a family of all adults, every suggestion from daily activities to hotel choices was simply perfect. We travelled through Delhi, Ranthambore (an unforgettable tiger safari!), Jaipur and Agra and I truly feel we experienced the very best of each destination while moving at a relaxed, well thought out pace

Daisy Stanton (February 2026)

My partner arranged a holiday trip at fairly short notice to Sri Lanka with Red Dot on a recommendation, Samanthie was so patient & helpful with her suggested itinerary which we followed with some minor amendments. On arrival at Colombo we met Manjula our chauffeur/guide who was absolutely brilliant!

Andrew S (February 2026)

Dulmini and the Red Dot Team arranged a fantastic trip for us around Assam and North East India. Faultless service. I cannot recommend them more highly.

Martin Thomas (February 2026)

Wonderful company. Our holiday in Sri Lanka was perfect. Local knowledge made all the difference

Sandra Nicholson (February 2026)

We looked up, and communicated with umpteen tour operators. Though Red Dot seemed to have offices in Sri Lanka and the UK, they seemed to have the best reviews. We were fortunate enough to correspond with Cherylle, who not only assured us of the safety of our friend, but created a personalised, and flexible, itinerary which we could not have done ourselves.

Jayant Banerji (February 2026)

A 14-day tour with Red Dot Tours was the perfect antidote to the bleak UK winter. After a glowing recommendation from a friend, we contacted Red Dot Tours and were not disappointed. Our consultant, Lahiru, curated a seamless itinerary. Throughout the planning phase, Lahiru was incredibly responsive; the final itinerary—delivered via a user-friendly 'Guest Portal'—was impressively detailed, covering every hotel stay and excursion.
