Day Excursion To Sham Valley (30 Kms / 02 Hrs – One Way)

Post breakfast, we head downstream along the River Indus on the Leh – Kargil Highway. Our sightseeing begins with the Hall of Fame, a museum constructed by the Indian Army, near Leh. This museum is a meaningful visit for every Indian, as it pays tribute to the soldiers who lost their lives in the various wars fought in the region. The Hall of Fame is housed within a museum, created as a dedication to the brave soldiers.
Shanti Stupa - is situated on a hilltop in Chanspa, Leh district, Ladakh, in the north Indian state of Leh. Shati Stupa as know Buddhist white-domed stupa. It was built in 1991 by Japanese Buddhist Bhikshu Gyomyo Nakamura.
Leh Palace - also known as 'Lhachen Palkhar,' is a 17th-century former royal palace and one of the central attractions in Leh. Built under the patronage of by King Sengge Namgyal, it used to house his family.
Proceed further to Gurudwara Patthar Sahib at an altitude of 3600 Mtrs about 22 Kms from Leh was constructed in memory of Guru Nanak Dev ji Nestled deep in the Himalayas. Devoted to Guru Nanak Devi Ji, the founder of Sikh Religion, the sacred place beautifully commemorates his visit to Ladakh. Dating back to 1517, the Gurudwara houses a boulder with imprints of the head, shoulders and backside of Shree Guru Nanak Dev.
A drive of another 4 km took us to Magnetic Hill which defies the law of gravity. This tiny hillock is said to defy gravity as it tends to pull vehicles upwards. It is quite thrilling to defy the laws of science and be pulled in the opposite direction. Local Ladakhi superstition believes that the road is a straight stairway to heaven.
As you move ahead from Magnetic Hills, just before Nimmu Village, there comes a famous Confluence Of Two Rivers Indus River coming from Tibet (left) and Zanskar River coming from Zanskar Valley (right). Indus river is originated from the great Himalayan ranges and Zanskar river originates from Zanskar ranges. Zanskar river is shiny blue in colour, on the other hand Indus looks a little green. Zanskar meets Indus in Nimmu valley from the north-east. This is a scenic view for the visitors and they find it fascinating to mark both the rivers even after their confluence.
After visiting confluence, we head to Leh. Dinner and overnight at Hotel in Leh.
