The Ultimate Travelling Camp, Diskit

Nubra Valley, India
The Ultimate Travelling Camp, Diskit — hotel photograph
The Ultimate Travelling Camp at Diskit rests at the confluence of two majestic rivers, Shyok and Nubra, and the landscape treats you to both desert dunes and epic mountains.

Long hikes through these spiritual valleys will reward soul searchers with ancient monasteries. Trek by camel in the footsteps of merchants, mercenaries and monks. Enjoy an idyllic picnic lunch in the apple and apricot orchards.

Visit the humble village of Turtuk for a true sense of life in the Himalayas, and walk the way of the Lamas and meet the Maitreya Buddha, the gargantuan 32-metre tall statue that safeguards the valley.

The camp isn’t open all year round, but if you’re looking to visit between May and September, then this could be for you

The hotel’s tents are from South Africa and do not entirely reflect the design features of 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

While there is less here to do than at other Ultimate Travelling Camps, there is still plenty of both culture and nature for you to discover

Families are welcome, but amenities are not specifically designed with families in mind

Located at the confluence of the Nubra and Shyok rivers in the Himalayan village of Diskit, a 3-hour drive from Kushok Bakula Rimpochee Airport in Leh, Ladakh.

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.
