2. Shanti Stupa
Shanti Stupa is a place that brings peace to your mind and soul. The best time to visit it is during the sunset because during this time you can see the whole glistening city of Leh. One good thing is that it also has a Shanti Stupa cafe inside the property so you can enjoy the mesmerizing views while enjoying the taste of a local Ladakhi dish.
Ticket Price: It doesn’t have a ticket but you can voluntarily buy a Rs30 ticket for the maintenance of the area.
3. Magnetic Hills
Magnetic Hills is definitely a fun place to visit. This place is a wonder of nature that defies gravity. All you have to do is sit inside a vehicle and start it in neutral gear and the vehicle will start moving upwards by itself. Wonderful isn’t it? While it doesn’t have a fancy view or other things to offer, this experience makes up for all and thus it falls under a must-visit place in Leh.
4. Gurudwara Patthar Sahib
A road trip to Leh Ladakh Tour Package can be a hectic one and visiting a Gurudwara can bring you the much needed peace and solace to your inner self. Not just the regular peace that a religious location brings to you, Gurudwara Patthar Sahib also has a rich story behind it.
Guru Nanak Sahib protected this very place from a huge rock that an ‘asur’ threw on it, with just a single rudraksha. Can you believe it? That huge rock is still present inside and thus the name given to the Gurudwara.
5. Leh Local Market
It is mandatory to visit the local market when you visit any new location, because it tells you a lot about the local culture and lets you buy the needed souvenirs for friends and family. But there is something special about the Leh Market, you can see women sitting on the sideways knitting mufflers and caps with their own hands, jingles of Tibetan bells, and the good local cafes are present right there! This market looks beautiful in the evening but don’t be much late as by 9 shopkeepers close shops and go back to their homes.
That’s it for today. These are the main highlights on your Leh Ladakh road trip and we hope you won’t miss out on these places in Leh.
So good luck on your upcoming Ladakh trip and happy travelling!
