We are Asten Tours — a travel agency born and rooted in Leh, built around deep local knowledge and a genuine love for this region. We don't just send you to Ladakh. We take you through it, the right way, with the right people, and a place to call home when the day is done.
Asten Tours and Travels was founded with a simple belief: that the best Ladakh experiences come from local insight, not generic itineraries. Based at Plot i-10, Skampari Road, Leh, we are a team shaped by this landscape — its altitude, its rhythms, its culture — and that shows in every trip we plan. From first-time visitors to seasoned Himalayan travelers, we craft journeys that are effortless for our guests and meaningful in every detail.
1 Who We Are
We are a Leh-based travel agency with over four years of experience designing and delivering journeys across the entire Ladakh region. Our approach is shaped by three things that most travel agencies working from outside the region simply cannot offer: genuine local presence, deep cultural familiarity, and the kind of on-the-ground responsiveness that only comes from being here year-round.
Local Expertise, Not Just Logistics
At Asten Tours, every journey is guided by deep local insight and sincere respect for Ladakh's culture, environment, and rhythm of life. We believe travel should be both effortless and meaningful — carefully considered in every detail while leaving space for genuine discovery. When something changes — a road closure, a festival shift, a weather window — we are already here, adjusting, solving, and making it work.
We cover the full Ladakh region: from the high passes of Khardung La and Chang La, to the turquoise expanse of Pangong Tso, the sand dunes of Nubra Valley, the remote Changthang plateau, and the extraordinary landscapes of Zanskar. Whatever Ladakh means to you — adventure, culture, silence, photography, or simply the mountains — we design a journey that matches it.

2 What We Offer
We handle every element of a Ladakh journey — from the moment you decide to come to the moment you leave. Here is what we take care of:
Accommodation
Comfortable stays across Ladakh — through our own BnBs, trusted guesthouses, and partner hotels. Every property is personally vetted.
Taxi Services
Reliable local drivers and comfortable vehicles for safe travel across Ladakh's high-altitude roads, passes, and remote valleys.
Bike Rentals
Well-maintained motorcycles for travelers who want to explore Ladakh's iconic roads and high passes under their own power.
Flight Tickets
Convenient flight booking assistance to and from Leh and major Indian cities — we handle the logistics so you don't have to.
Fully Customised Itineraries
No two trips from Asten are the same. Whether you want a 5-day cultural circuit, a 14-day motorcycle adventure, a family-friendly itinerary with proper acclimatization built in, or a quiet escape into Zanskar — we design it around you. Simply reach out with your travel dates and preferences, and our team will put together a personalised plan.
3 Asten Homes — Our Own BnBs in Leh
Most travel agencies point you toward accommodation. We take it further. Through Asten Homes, we run our own boutique bed-and-breakfast properties in Leh — which means the quality of your stay is something we take personal responsibility for, not outsource to a third party.
Both properties are located close to Leh town, combining convenience with the quiet and warmth of a genuine home. Guests consistently describe Asten Homes as a highlight of their Ladakh trip — not just a place to sleep, but a place to arrive back to.
Asten BnB
Asten BnB is a cozy guesthouse located in a quiet yet central area of Leh, allowing guests to enjoy both tranquility and easy access to town. The property features spacious rooms, ample parking, and a peaceful garden where guests can unwind after a long day of sightseeing in the mountains.
One of the details guests love most: the meals. Asten BnB serves freshly prepared home-style food made with vegetables grown in our own garden — an authentic and genuinely healthy Ladakhi dining experience that most hotels in Leh simply cannot replicate. The local market is just a short walk away, making it easy to explore cafés, shops, and the rich cultural fabric of Leh's old town.
Two Flowers Guest House
Two Flowers BnB offers a charming and relaxed stay designed for travelers who want comfort alongside a touch of local character. Well-maintained rooms, peaceful surroundings, and warm hospitality that reflects the genuine spirit of Ladakh — not a hotel chain's idea of it.
The atmosphere is calm and welcoming, perfect for couples, solo travelers, and small groups. Guests can enjoy quiet mornings with mountain air, unwind in comfortable spaces between excursions, and easily access Leh's main market and cafés. It is the kind of guesthouse that makes you extend your stay by a day just because you don't quite want to leave.
4 Why Travel with Asten
- We are actually here. Based in Leh year-round, not managing your trip remotely from a city office. When something needs solving, we solve it in real time.
- Local knowledge, genuinely. Our team has deep familiarity with every route, monastery, festival, and guesthouse across the region — not just the tourist circuit.
- Acclimatization built in. Every itinerary we design respects the altitude. We never pack Day 1 with sightseeing. Your health is part of the plan, not an afterthought.
- Full-service, one contact. Tours, accommodation, taxi, bikes, flights, permits — one team handles everything so you deal with one point of contact, not five vendors.
- Our own accommodation. Asten BnB and Two Flowers Guest House are properties we run ourselves — the standards are ours to maintain, and we take that seriously.
- Customised, not canned. We design your journey around your interests, pace, budget, and travel style. No two Asten trips look the same.
- 5.0 rating, 1,500+ travellers. The numbers speak — and more importantly, the reviews do.
