BEFORE YOU GO · CAUTIONARY DETAILS
Check the altitude before you book the flight
Leh is at 3,500 m and you arrive there by aeroplane in an hour from sea level, which is the fastest ascent most people will ever make. Two full days doing nothing on arrival is the standard advice and it is not optional because you are on holiday rather than a trek.
A holiday itinerary still has hard days in it
Pass crossings by road, long transfers and early starts are normal on these trips. Read the day plan rather than the brochure photograph.
Ask what the group size actually is
A group holiday is priced on filling a coach. It is a fair question and the answer changes the trip completely.
The places you pass through are lived in
Ask before photographing people and houses, take your shoes off where others do, and buy locally where you can. A holiday moves through more communities in a week than a trek does.

About The Long Stay Co.

We do two things: long stays for people working remotely, and offsites for companies who want the same houses out of season. Both are priced by the week. Every property has its upload speed on the listing because that is the question everybody asks first.

Well paced over 6 days with enough free time to not feel herded. Hostel nights are basic but clean, and that's what the price says.

Good mix of the obvious things and a few places we'd never have found. No hesitation recommending them.

Sameer Khan – Jaipur2025-09-26 · Verified booking

Everything was arranged properly — transfers, entries, all of it. Dorms were tidy and the common areas were where the group actually gelled. Whoever planned the days knew what they were doing.

Everything was arranged properly — transfers, entries, all of it. Nothing fancy about the beds, and nothing wrong with them either.
