Leh Palace
The once royal abode of the Namgyal King, the 9 storeyed Leh Palace now lies in ruins. Built in the 17th century, the historic architecture of the Leh Palace is something to watch out for and the Stok Kangru and Zanskar ranges that surround the place are also a sight to behold.
Unique Flora and Fauna

Biking
A bike trip across Ladakh is on the bucket list of zillions from around the world. Bikes can easily be rented here, however, avoid the monsoon season as during this time there is a high occurrence of landslides which leads to long traffic jams in the area where traffic is just stranded and despite best efforts by the administration, the road takes hours to clear up.
