Only good as a quick overnight rest between Srinagar n Leh. Would not recommend this for anyone other than a solo motorcyclist on a budget. Has safe parking for your motorcycle. It is safe for girls too (The whole of the UT of Ladakh is) but I would not recommend it as the hygiene levels are questionable. It is right beside the Srinagar-Leh highway and right at the entrance of Kargil town when coming from Srinagar. So if you have tanked up your fuel before you get here then you can have a really early morning start and reach Leh by noon. Works very well for that. And a special word for the reception boy, Abbas. He was very friendly and helpful.

So bikers on a budget who want a place to bunk right on the...
Read moreI recently stayed at Hotel Border View in Kargil and had a wonderful experience. The location of the hotel is fantastic, as it is situated near the Srinagar-Leh highway and offers stunning views of the surrounding mountains. Additionally, the hotel offers free parking nearby which is a huge plus for those traveling with their own vehicle. One of the highlights of my stay was the proximity of the hotel to the Suru River, which added to the overall serene atmosphere of the hotel. The sound of the river was so peaceful and soothing that I found it hard to leave the hotel and explore the area. The rooms at the hotel were comfortable and clean, with all the necessary amenities such as a TV, comfortable beds, and hot water. The staff was friendly and accommodating, always willing to help with any questions or needs. Overall, I highly recommend Hotel Border View for anyone looking for a peaceful and comfortable stay in Kargil. The location, free parking, and proximity to the Suru River make it an excellent choice for those looking to...
Read moreGood stay We booked this hotel through Agoda, but unfortunately, the hotel did not receive any confirmation from Agoda. Later, we learned from the hotel staff that they had blocked bookings from Agoda due to the higher discounts offered. However, the hotel manager, Mr. Abass, assisted us and promised a full refund from Agoda. Therefore, it is advisable to avoid booking through Agoda. Otherwise, the hotel is in a great location. The staff are very humble and cooperative, assisting us throughout our stay. They cooked excellent meals, especially North Indian cuisine. The hotel is quite new and still under construction; we hope it is...
