Fiang Village homestay – Fiang

Fiang is a village comprising 300 odd houses, located at a distance of 15 km from Leh. The village is not only home to a 16th century Phyang Monastery but also boasts the presence of the Himalayan Institute of Alternate Ladakh (HIAL), an initiative run by the renowned innovator and Educationist, Sonam Wangchuk.
