I was skeptical about staying in this hotel specially after reading the last few negative reviews, but could not have been more wrong! I have contacted the owner Mr. Naresh Jishtu and was surprised to see that he is obviously a very nice and amiable person quite in contrast to the remarks written. he is outspoken but a very good person at heart. Purely its my opinion.. and I should be considered ungrateful if I dont mention the name of Mr. Pratap , Mr. Omar and all the persons who has made our stay quite comfortable even in the extremely harsh condition. They were extremely professional, helpful and always friendly. Coming to our experience. Arriving in Leh in december where -6 degree day temperature is not an exaggeration and plain madness. We have reached The hotel in the afternoon at 4 p.m. the temperature was @-6 °C. The road and the surroundings were completely covered with ice and our driver was so reluctant to go any point beyond Sangla. We had to convince him that as our booking is in Rupin River View so we have no alternative and to our surprise we have seen only one Bengali family excluding us in entire Sangla Valley. Both side of the entrance to our hotel was covered with 4 feets of Snow and we were thinking that the hotel is closed due to the extreme weather condition and we have to return...

Coming to our experience. Arriving in Leh in december where -6 degree day temperature is not an exaggeration and plain madness.

Both side of the entrance to our hotel was covered with 4 feets of Snow and we were thinking that the hotel is closed due to the extreme weather condition and we have to return to Sangla only. Suddenly Mr. Pratap came out of the tiny passage of the hotel to greet us and though they were very surprised that we have made this far but were prompt enough to arrange our room within 10 minutes. They had only arrived knowing our reservation was on 7th March, 2019 and they have faced extreme difficulties to clear the snow.

I wont even try to describe the beauty of the surrounding because its beyond description and no one can capture that raw beauty of the nature with a mere camera. The hotel is situated in rural surroundings of rakcham Village with an mindblowing view of the Chitkul Valley and the pristine Baspa River, only 100m from the bridge . Pleasant room and an out of the world view from Balcony.

Rupin River View has welcomed us with such great hospitality especially even in that harsh winter condition and with so much warmth and smile that any discomfort or distress of has been forgotten and we really enjoyed every moment of it and strongly wish to visit the place again and again. More

  We,two friends ,recently visited rakcham during march and made our stay at this hotel for one night. Pratap, the hotel manager was a very nice guy and extended all his support in this harsh weather. Water was available scarcely with water was provided in bucket as the water in the pipeline were frozen. Food was also good. You can catch breathtaking view of baspa river and rakcham-chitkul sanctuary from the balcony. Overall it was a pleasant stay. If you do visit rakcham this time, make sure for a stay here.
