The 9-storey dun-coloured palace is now converted into a museum and a prayer room, while the highlight is the sweeping view of Leh and the surrounding Zanskar mountain from the rooftop.
The Leh Palace is designed and inspired by the Potala Palace in Lhasa (Tibet), and a considerable part is now in ruins due to the Kashmiri invasion that took place in the 19th century. The beauty of the Leh Palace still stands in pride with a several ancient Buddha relics, old utensils, paintings, cutlery used by the royal family and artefacts embellishing the walls, most of which are around 450 years old.
The palace looks even more mesmerizing when it is lighted upon certain special occasions, such as Galdam Namchot festival when locals gather around the palace to celebrate and enjoy the local festival. The majestic palace is presently under the Archaeological Survey of India, which is working on renovating the ancient structures of that era and trying to keep intact the history of the Namgyal dynasty in Leh.

Approx Duration Suggested - 3 - 4 Hours
Alchi Choskor Monastery is one among the oldest Buddhist monasteries of the northern park of India, but features a stark contrast to the opposite Buddhist shrines within the country, in terms of architecture also as prayers. It is considered to be a Buddhist temple by many, rather being a full fledged monastery. Mural paintings and carvings are unique to any other in the vicinity. Alchi Choksor Monastery is nestled by the rivers Indus and Zanksar and is about 70 kms away from Leh, along the Leh – Srinagar highway. Many consider the monastery complex together of the oldest within the region, probably dating back to quite 1000 years, but now there are not any monks living here and studying. It is very popular and more of a visiting place by sacred Buddhist scholars as well as visitors. One of the unique feature of this monastery is that it is built on the flat ground, with backdrops of high-rise mountains of the Himalayan ranges, which is not common with other monasteries in the Leh region. From the surface , the monastery won't appear to be existent in such glorious ways, as dilapidated buildings and houses surround the complex and sometimes it'd also appear as non-existent. It has always been found to be very realistic, yet thought inspiring as to the primary reason for the building of such a monastic complex.
History:
It has not yet been clearly confirmed on the historical dates for the construction of the monastery complex, as there are variety of buildings included within the complex. Most common belief is that the famous translator Rinchen Zangpo arrived here in 10th century and created a couple of monasteries. With his efforts, many other monasteries came up within the Himachal Pradesh, Sikkim and neighbouring areas and about 108 monasteries are credited to him. These monasteries are said to belong to the Vajrayana sect of Tibetan Buddhism. Under his influence, many artistic contributions were done by the Kashmiri artists. In the later years way back to the 15th century, worship and studies within the Alchi Choksor Monastery ceased and it went into administrative control of other neighbouring monasteries, when Likir Monastery has been taking care of its maintenance since those days.
