Tourism in India is not complete without visiting Ladakh in Jammu and Kashmir.

The mighty Himalayan backdrop with evergreen fields, magical white snow and lively lakes makes this region more suitable to add it to anyone’s bucket list. One of the wonder in Ladakh is Shanti Stupa. Shanti Stupa is a Buddhist religious shrine with a white dome located on the hill top of Chanspa at 5 KMs from Leh in the Ladakh region. Shanti Stupa was built by Japanese Buddhist Monk Bhikshu, Gyomyo Nakamura and part of the Peace Pagoda mission in the year 1991. This stupa is built as a mark of successful completion of 2500 years of Buddhism. This is built to spread world peace and as a symbol of friendship between Japan and Ladakh. The holy relics of Buddha are protected and are enshrined by 14th Dalai Lama at the base of the Shanti Stupa in Ladakh. This stupa is known to have various sculptures of Buddha depicting his life stories such as his birth, defeating the devils, and the death of Buddha on the panels.

Shanti Stupa Leh Ladakh is surrounded by the native traditional villages andsnow clad mountains. The way to Khardung La, Shindu Ghat, Stok village and many places can be clearly seen from the Stupa. The stupa provides a spectacular and extensive view of the surrounding landscape. The sunrise and sunset are the two most popular views of this place. During sunset and sunrise, stupa is crowded with lots of visitors who gather here to experience the scintillating views of the area. Tourists flock to this place between 5 am to 9 pmto enjoy an unbelievable view of the serene Leh town.

Shanti Stupa in Ladakh is built at the height of 4,267meters with 500 steep steps. Tourists can reach this stupa either by driving or by walking. Going through the hardship of climbing the 500 steps does make us tired but the dazzling view on the top of the hill will make you refreshed and mesmerized and lets you forget the pain. The stupa looks more beautiful during the night since it is illuminated in the dark with beautiful lights. Due to this panoramic view and different architectural style, Shanti Stupa remains as an attractive top tourist destination among others in Ladakh. Though this is a religious shrine, it is looked as a hot tourist spot for its incomparable views.

    Poonam's 6 days trip to Ladakh

    Hi Team, Thank you for arranging the trip. Overall, the experience was good, but I’d like to share two points of feedback: 1. The food arrangements could have been better. 2. As a solo female traveler, being placed in a backup vehicle was not very comfortable. It would have been more convenient and reassuring if a proper vehicle arrangement had been made. Hope this helps improve the experience for future travelers.

    Anmol's 7 days trip to Ladakh

    We booked our Ladakh trip with Travo Guider and it turned out to be an amazing experience. Even though it was an impromptu plan, Vivek was extremely patient and proactive in arranging everything smoothly at such short notice. There was a small issue with the standard of one of the hotels, but Vivek handled it very gracefully and managed to arrange a better hotel for us within 30 minutes, which was truly impressive. A big thanks to our driver, Mr. Dorjay. Not only was he very experienced, but also a kind and wonderful person who made our journey even more memorable. Overall, the support and dedication of Vivek and team made our Ladakh trip hassle-free and truly enjoyable. We are very happy with their service and would definitely recommend them. Wishing the team lots of success ahead! with Travo Guider and it turned out to be an amazing experience.

    Ateesh's 8 days trip to Ladakh

    Overall good experience. Though a 7 day plan must always include Hemis Monastry which was missing in our plan. Also, in Nubra Valley stay should be in Hunder and not Sumoor which is far away. Very helpful driver which made the whole trip comfortable.

    Rishabh's 13 days trip to Ladakh

    Deepika did a good job in organising the tour. Special appreciation for the driver Singay and the local representative Yukey. We hardly had any trouble during the journey. Would like to suggest that the camp at pangong can be better. Overall was a good experience at what we felt was a fair price.
