The Leh Palace is an architectural wonder that was once the home of the royal family of Ladakh. This nine-story palace has a beautiful panoramic view of the town and has a museum showcasing the heritage and culture of Ladakh. Be sure to check out the prayer room and the beautifully painted murals.
This stunning blue lake is one of the biggest attractions in Leh Ladakh. The color of the lake changes with the sun and looks different at different times of the day. Surrounded by snow-capped mountains, it is a perfect location for a day trip and an ideal spot for photography enthusiasts.
A unique destination located on the Leh-Kargil highway which is known for the magnetic forces that can pull cars uphill despite the engine being turned off. This is a natural phenomenon that is worthy of the experience and should be added to your list of things to see in Leh-Ladakh.
For those who have more time, there are several other places to visit such as the Nubra Valley, Tso Moriri, and Hemis National Park. These places are definitely worth the visit but require extra time to explore. If you have less time, consider skipping the Magnetic Hill and spending more time in Leh exploring the local markets or visiting nearby monasteries such as Thiksey or Shey.
