Though there are a few places to do an overnight stay in Zollydok village close to the Gompa a more comfortable option would be to stay put at Kargil and visit Rangdum and get back. The Gompa is about 5 hours drive from Kargil.
Alternately one can plan to hit Padum Valley and take an Hour's break at the Gompa on the way up or down.
