Leh Ladakh © 2 © 2015 albert-learning.com The nine-storey Leh palace, built in typical Tibetan architectural style, has a stunning view of the surrounding landscape - houses, terraced fields and the magnificent snow peaks of the stok kangri. It is sad that most of it has fallen to rack and ruin now, and entering certain parts of it is nothing short of a Torch-lit thriller. LEH PALACE

Leh Ladakh © 2 © 2015 albert-learning.com Leh is mostly ruled by Buddhist culture and religion and is home to some of the most incredible monasteries in the entire world. Each monastery has a courtyard where rituals are performed or yearly festivals are celebrated. There are also many stupas, known as "chortens". CHORTENS

Leh Ladakh © 2 © 2015 albert-learning.com At various points around Leh-Ladakh, you will see the famous Mani walls. These are long stone walls with prayers engraved on them, a form of Buddhist spiritual worship. On the outer walls one can notice the lines of "prayer wheels“. Prayer wheels are wood and metal cylinders with prayers written on the long pieces of paper inside. Every rotation of the cylinders is equated to prayers being sent to Buddha himself. MANI WALL
