About this website
This website is run by Snow Leopard Conservancy India Trust on behalf of the village of Saspotsey. It shares information about the village, the Ladakh Nature Centre, Sia Cafe, handicrafts, homestays and visitor experiences.
Enquiries and bookings
Submitting the enquiry form is a request, not a confirmed booking. A booking is confirmed only when the Village Tourism Committee confirms it to you in writing, by email or WhatsApp.
Homestay bookings are assigned to host families under our village rotation system. We cannot guarantee a specific family or home.
Prices, services, and availability are listed on the website and may change. The price confirmed to you at booking applies.
Information accuracy
We try to keep the content accurate, but it is provided for general guidance. Details such as routes, distances, travel times, prices, opening hours, menus and seasonal activities can change. Please confirm with us before you travel.
Wildlife
Wildlife sightings, including snow leopards and other rare species found on the terrain, are never guaranteed. Photographs and sighting notes on this site are examples from the landscape and not a promise of what you will see.
Travelling in a high-altitude region
Saspotsey is at about 3,750 metres. Travel here involves risks, including altitude sickness, extreme weather, rough roads and trails, and limited medical facilities. You are responsible for:
– Allowing proper time to acclimatise before arriving
– Carrying suitable clothing, footwear, sun protection and personal medication
– Having travel and medical insurance
– Deciding whether you are fit to take part in an activity
Activities depend on weather, season, guide availability and local conditions, and may be changed or cancelled for your safety.
Visitor responsibilities
All visitors agree to follow our responsible tourism guidelines on the website, including:
– Respecting wildlife and observing from a safe distance
– Asking before photographing people, homes or religious activity
– Following local guidance at gonpas, Mani walls and chortens
– Not using drones over houses, monastery buildings or wildlife areas
– Avoiding single-use plastic and carrying out your waste
– Staying on appropriate routes and hiring local guides where advised
We may ask visitors who do not follow these guidelines to stop an activity or leave.
