In the west part of Ladakh, Alchi and Lamayuru are two well-known Buddhist monasteries along the Indus valley. This part of Ladakh is also known as “Sham” which actually means “West” in Ladakhi language. There are other monasteries which are worth a visit such as Likir, Basgo and Rizong. You should not miss the Sangam viewpoint to admire the confluence of Indus and Zanskar rivers. Closer to Leh, Gurdwara Pathar Sahib is a Sikh temple that houses a holy stone. A few kilometres further on the Leh-Srinagar highway, you will not believe your eyes when your driver stops at the intriguing Magnetic Hill! Head to the remote Dha‑Hanu valley if you want to meet the Brokpa people and discover their unique culture and traditions.
