stands next to the remains of a larger

construction on the east side of a hill,

which runs south-east towards the Indus.

From the palace you can see over the

fertile Indus plain northeast to Thikse

Gompa and over the Indus to the Zanskar

mountain range. The old Shey Palace has

the largest golden Buddha statue in

Ladakh in its gompa. The statue is worked

out of gold and glided copper sheets, stands 12 meters high and has blue hair, King Dalden Namgyal

erected it in the middle of the 17th century. The most important moment in the construction of

such a figure is when the eyes are painted in and the statue can ‘see’. No artist or monk would dare

to look the Buddha in the eye so the pupils are painted over the artist’s shoulder, with his back to

the idol.

Thikse Gompa The 500 – year old Thikse monastery, perched on a hill high above the Indus, has

the largest contingent of monks in Ladakh. On the right of the entrance to the main courtyard a

new chapel houses an enormous 15 M high seated Buddha figure. About 100 yellow – cap monks

belong to the gompa. If you get there by 0630 AM you can witness the daily morning prayers but

there are also prayers closer to noon, preceded by long, mournful sounds from the long Tibetan

horns on the roof.

Hemis Gompa famous far beyond the borders of Ladakh for its festival. This takes place every year

with mask dances on the 9th to 11th day of the fifth Tibetan month. Hemis also has a gigantic

thangka, one of the largest in the world, which is only displayed to the public every 12 years at the

Hemis Festival. Hemis Gompa is the largest and one of the most important in Ladakh quite apart

from its annual festival. It was founded about 350 years ago by Stagtshang Rinchen, who was

invited to Ladakh by King Singe Namgyal. Overnight at hotel.

Day 04; Leh – Nubra Valley (140kms/ 4hrs)

The drive between Khardung La and Nubra alongside the Shyok River is favourite one. Visit the

are best enjoyed late afternoon onwards. As the sun sets, the colours change reflecting on the sand

dunes and the mountains in the background – the river in the middle adds to the awe. You will see

the Bactrian (double humped) camels – a reminder of the historical Silk. Take a ride on the camels.

Overnight in tent/ guest house.

ago to revive Sanatan Dharma. Built on a high octagonal plinth and approached by a flight of steps

with side walls that once bore inscriptions, the main surviving shrine consists of a circular cell. It

overlooks the Valley and can be approached by a motorable road. A modern ceiling covers the inner

Shah Jahan region it has partially become Palace. The fort presents a good sampling of their

favoured architectural styles. Akbar drew on Islamic and Hindu traditions and the result is eclectic.

By Shah Jahan's time the style had become so homogenized that it is impossible to separate the

Hindu and Muslim strands. The Diwan-I-Am (public audience hall) the beautiful Diwan-I-Khas
