Shanti Stupa, the White Stupa of Peace in Leh

Shanti Stupa, also known as the Peace Stupa, is one of Leh's most prominent landmarks. Situated atop a high hill, it offers breathtaking panoramic views of Leh and the Himalayas. Built in 1991 by Japanese and Ladakhi monks, the pristine white stupa symbolizes peace and harmony. Enshrining the relics of the Lord Buddha, the surrounding area is filled with tranquility and devotion. Visitors often visit during sunrise and sunset to witness the stunning reflections of the light on the stupa and the mountains behind it. Shanti Stupa is both a scenic spot and a must-see sacred site when visiting Leh, Ladakh. #lehladakh
