KaYa Cafe & Guesthouse

Set up in a quiet village and with the quaint setting, this place has its own charm for those wanting to stay away from the hustle and bustle of the crowded Leh city. Just about 30 minutes away from Leh, you will come across this beautiful place where not only snow-capped mountains and scenic landscapes soothe your mornings but also easily visible milky way with galactic core and millions of shining stars make your casual star-gazing activity at nights worthwhile. This place is so quiet and relaxing that I shifted my base here instead at Leh during my 2 weeks of stay in Ladakh. After every few days of hectic, back-breaking and adventurous journey in the difficult terrain of Ladakh, my mind and body certainly thanked me for taking a much needed break at this wonderful place. Hashim's friendly nature and amazing hospitality made me feel like at home and Pooja's sumptuous and gourmet food is to die for. It's difficult to point out but still my most favorite was the Pizza with the vegan...

A visit to the beautiful Stok village is incomplete without a delicious meal at Kaya Cafe. Pooja is an astounding cook and Hashim & her are the most gracious hosts. We chose to spend the night at their homestay and it was turned out to be the most wonderful experience!

After visiting the beautiful sights that Stok village offers, be sure to drop in at Kaya Cafe for a delicious meal. From their sumptuous burgers and crepes to the lip smacking desserts. A trip to Stok is incomplete without a visit here.
