About Us
Fana Resort is located in the picturesque village of Sakti, about 45 km (50 mins drive), from the bustling town of Leh. The resort lays en-route to the popular Pangong Lake which is about 90 km to its east and the lush Nubra Valley which is about 85 km to its north through the Wari La Pass.
Nestled in the laps of majestic mountains amidst uninterrupted meadows, pristine rivulets, and blue skies, it offers its visitors a pure sense of well-being and calm. The Fana Vision Resort is a perfect place for visitors looking to relax, unwind and escape from their otherwise hectic and stressful lives.
The Resort is unique in the sense that while its architecture reflects the culture and tradition of Ladakh, yet its rooms are of European standards.
Each room has an individual balcony with a promise of the most breathtaking views from sunrise to sunset.
During your stay, guests can walk up to the ancient Dak-Thok Monastery (“Rock-Roof” Monastery) which is the only monastery in Ladakh following the Nyingma tradition of Tibetan Buddhism. It is here, in these very caves, where Guru Padmasambhava mediated during his stay in Ladakh, centuries ago. The Resort also offers cycling tours to the nearby Chemdey Monastery (about 30 minutes) and the world renowned Hemis Monestery (about 1 and half hours).
The family-run Resort is proud to offer excellent personalized service to its guests. The Resort offers fresh, nutritious food prepared using fresh vegetables sourced from the Resort’s own organic kitchen-garden. Solar hot water is available 24 hours a day. The Resort has free Wi-Fi connectivity, however subject to the prevalent network connection in Leh. Cultural activities like archery, folk dance and music is organized within the Resort’s vicinity and upon the request of its guests.

Dear Guest,
Julley! Welcome to Fana Resort – your very own abode during your stay in Ladakh. At the outset, we assure you that it shall be our best endeavor to make it your home away from home in every way possible. We hope that you are able to quickly settle in to get ready to soak in and enjoy the natural goodness around you that is bound to awaken your senses, your heart and soul and make for a truly unique and memorable experience. We are so happy that we are able to share this unique natural experience with you. You must appreciate that given the limitation that come with the high altitude and remoteness of the place, all the amenities and material have to be brought all the way from town and we are here to make them available to you in every way possible. Also, while we enjoy Nature’s gift to us, we need to always ensure that we replenish nature in every way we can. Your Resort is a firm believer in sustainable development and minimum environmental impact and is constantly working towards them and towards that goal, we humbly seek your help and cooperation:
- Your Resort has recently installed a new renewable solar project that takes care of 99% of the Resort’s power requirement including hot water for your bath, so for hot water for your bath, you must leave the hot water tap open for at least 2 minutes before you can get hot water. In case the weather has been cloudy for 2-3 consecutive days, there is a possibility that the water may not be hot, in which case the Resort staff is there for you to help you with hot water in a bucket.
- For drinking water, the Resort has done away with using plastic Bisleri water bottles since their disposal is a growing concern for the sensitive eco-system of the region. There are two glass bottles containing clean filtered RO water for consumption kept in each room, which you can get refilled at any time with the help of Resort staff. There is also a flask containing hot water placed in each room for tea and coffee which you can also ask to be refilled, whenever required.
- In case the weather gets cold, please feel free to ask the Resort staff to help you with extra blanket. Hot water bottle can also be provided upon request. However, there is no provision for heaters in the rooms since they consume high power which the solar power set-up cannot endure.
- We request you to always dispose of waste in the designated bins, be it at the Resort premises or elsewhere in public places. In case, there are no bins available, you can always collect the waste and keep it in the car and dispose it at the next stop where bins are available.
- All the rooms are non-smoking zones. You are free to smoke on the balcony or outside.
- For internet/Wi-Fi, the ID is Fana Resort and password is fanaladakh1. However the internet connectivity is contingent on the network connectivity/server in town.
- Lastly, remember to get ample rest, stay hydrated, wear sunscreen, keep warm and smile.
Sincerely,
Fana Resort.
