Not to be confused with The Grand Dragon Hotel, this quaint little hotel has been a place for me to rest my head every visit to Leh and as far as I know, no other production that has travelled to Leh for a shoot has stayed elsewhere.

Easy, hospitable, and with this killer view, Hotel Dragon is a great way to dive into the Ladakh culture while enjoying your creature comforts.

As far as travel hotels go, this hotel is a decent one. The beds are comfy, the rooms are clean, and the porters are more than happy to help you lug your belongings up the stairs when altitude adjustments make it difficult for you.

The markets are just around the corner from the hotel, and opposite are some truly adorable local cafes that make some tasty Maggi.I ate at the restaurant every meal, and the buffet was simple but tasty. The only drawback to this hotel (excluding the flights of stairs) was the lack of water in the room. One bottle a day wasn't enough for poor AMS me.The power voltage at the hotel is a little weak, so make sure to bring portable chargers with you to keep your electronics alive. Amazingly, the wifi is great and I managed to Skype my mum during my stay.And with this view, why wouldn't you?
