The Grand Dragon Ladakh

The Grand Dragon, Ladakh located at a height of 11,562 ft in Leh, Ladakh in the Himalayas, holds a place of pride in the hearts of the locals as it was the first international class hotel in this remote and isolated outpost and now the only hotel with 5 star certification in Ladakh.

Set up in 2007, this hotel, built despite the challenges of being located at a high altitude, redefined hospitality in Leh and set a benchmark for other establishments that came up subsequently.

Today, The Grand Dragon, Ladakh continues to uphold the high standards and is the preferred hotel for upscale travellers looking for luxury and comfort.

Owned and managed by the ABDU family who are known for their passion for hospitality. The ABDU family has been in the hospitality business since 1974, when Ladakh was first opened for tourism. Seizing this opportunity, the family patriarch the late Mr. Din Mohammed, had then opened their first property, Hotel Dragon. The opening year brought in a total of 527 tourists of which, 500 were foreign and 27 domestic.

Following in their father’s footsteps, the brothers Gulam Mustafa and Ghulam Mohiuddin developed and conceptualised The Grand Dragon, Ladakh. Minutes from the airport and situated in the heart of the city centre, this indigenously designed hotel's architecture incorporates the famous Rabsal tradition of Ladakh, visible in the window treatments and balconies.
