About Uleytokpo
A quiet riverside oasis between Alchi and Lamayuru, popular as a peaceful overnight stop with eco-camps along the Indus and dramatic coloured-rock canyons nearby.
History & significance
Long a halt on the old caravan route between Leh and Kashmir, Uleytokpo was traditionally used by traders and pilgrims breaking the journey. Today it is best known for its riverside camps and as a base for visiting nearby monasteries.
Travel tips
- Book a riverside cottage in advance during peak season.
- Walk along the Indus at dusk for stunning light.
- Great base for Alchi, Likir, Lamayuru and Rizong day trips.
