“dren-mo” (Purigi/Ladakhi) - Bear
Drenmo Lodge is the first ever exclusive lodge in India dedicated to the majestic Himalayan Brown Bear known as “Drenmo” in the local language. Located in the remote Holiyal village in Mushkow valley - a prime brown bear country and known as the second coldest inhabited place in the world, it is undoubtedly the best location in India for sighting this magnificent mammal.
Born out of a one of a kind collaboration between Roots Ladakh, a locally based responsible travel company in Kargil, Ladakh and Flame of the Forest, a boutique safari lodge based on Kanha National Park in central India, Drenmo Lodge promises to bring together luxury, immersive and impact travel experiences.
It is a pioneering initiative to change the perception of the local community towards the mammal by bringing them economic benefits through tourism.
