SEEKING NEW HORIZONS SINCE 2004
OUR JOURNEY
Julley! A warm welcome to our home. My name is Stanzin, and I have been a mountain guide since 2004.
When I was 18, I ran away to volunteer in the Army, spending seven months in the Siachen Glacier (Saltoro Kangri) at an altitude of 7,350 meters. I was thrilled to see the glacier up close, but after returning, I settled back in my village home.
Unexpected visitors—trekkers—knocked on our door, looking for a place to stay. At that time, only foreign tourists visited the area, guided by the Lonely Planet book. Until 2004, there were no guesthouses in Upper Likir, except for accommodations at the monastery school. Since I had spent much of my childhood outside Ladakh—from the age of seven in different parts of India and five years in Taiwan—I wasn’t very familiar with tourism in the region.
