Why We Love This Hotel

Bears, Bears, Bears: Drenmo Lodge is located in the middle of India’s Himalayan Brown Bear country and is the premier place to use as a base for those seeking these animals.

Scenery: The lodge is located in a breathtaking trans-Himalaya environment where majestic peaks, plateaus and barren hills meet with Kashmir’s green forested hills and valleys. This area is home to a variety of birds and mammals including the Golden Eagle, Asiatic Ibex and Grey Wolf.

Giving Back: A portion of the lodge’s proceeds go towards brown bear conservation efforts, as well as community engagement to mitigate human-brown bear conflicts. The lodge also hires staff from within the local community to support the local villagers.
