MAGNETIC HILL :
Defying the Law of gravity. This place is close to the Gurdwara Shri Patthar
Sahib. It has been noticed that when a vehicle is parked on neutral gear on
this metallic road the vehicle slides up-hill that’s the Believe it or not of
Ladakh!
GURDWARA SHRI PATTHAR SAHIB:
The Shrine known as Gurdwara Patthar sahib is situated about 25 kms. Short of
Leh town on the Leh-Srinagar road. Built in the everlasting memory of Shri Guru
Nanak Deve Ji the great prophet who sanctified the place by his sacred visit
during the year 1517 while on his second missionary tour (2nd Udassi
1515-1518). The Guru reached here via Nepal, Sikkim, Tibet Yarkand and Leh
after having spiritual discourses with the sidhas at Mount Sumer (Central
Himalayas). On the hill features across the road, there used to live a wicked
demon that terrorized the people of the area. Their miseries multiplied day by
day. As their miseries became unbearable they prayed for divine help. It is
said that the Great Guru heard their woes and came to their rescue. The Guru
settled down on the bank of the river flowing nearby. The people sought for
help and the Guru blessed the people and became very popular in the area. The
locals called him as Nanak Lama. The Demon got enraged and started making plans
to kill Guru Nanak. One morning, when the Guru was sitting in meditation, he
rolled down a big boulder from the hilltop with the aim of killing the Guru.
But on the very touch of Guru’s body, the solid rock melted like wax and Guru’s
back got embedded on it like a cushion. The Guru kept on sitting in meditation
undisturbed. Thinking that the Guru must have been killed, the demon came down
but was taken aback on seeing the Guru in meditation, undisturbed. With a rage
of anger he tried to push the rock with his right foot but the rock had already
became like wax his foot also got embedded into it. On this , he realized his
folly and powerlessness as compared to the spiritual power of the Great Guru.
He fell on the feet of Guru and humbly prayed to be pardoned. The Guru advised
him to get rid of his wickedness and lead the life of a nobel person, in the service
of humanity. This changed the life style of demon and he started serving the
people. The Guru there after continued his Holy journey towards Srinagar and
Kashmir via Kargil.
The
boulder having imprint of the Guru’s back is lying in the Gurdwara to this day.
CONFLUENCE OF THE ZANSKAR &
INDUS : On way to Sham Valley before Nimu village one can
have this magnificent view of two rivers in wed-lock! In seasons they have
different colors and flow and wildness.
ALCHI GOMPA:
70 Kms from Leh, on the banks of the Indus, is the Alchi Gompa dating a
thousand years back. One of its walls features thousands of miniature sized
pictures of the Buddha. Three large sized images made of clay and painted
brightly are its focal attractions. No longer an active religious center, it is
looked after by monks from the Liker monastery. This is the only monastery
amongst 34 monasteries, which is not located on a hilltop.
LADAKH HALL OF FAME :
The Hall of Fame is a glorious museum constructed by the Indian Army. It is
worth a visit for every citizen. You can see the memorabilia, eminent defense
personalities with biographies, images and
weapons used during the Kargil and other key strategic battles fought in
Ladakh. And belongings of the enemy
soldiers found at war site. All the martyr and the gallantry awards…
“Here’s
something that you will be proud of our defense personnel who sacrificed
themselves so that we could live in peace.”

THE PANGONG LAKE
: This route takes the visitor past the picturesque villages of Shey and
Thikse, and turns off the Indus valley by the side valley of Chemrey and Sakti.
The Ladakh range is crossed by the Chang-la (18,000 feet / 5,475 M) which
despite its great elevation is one of the easier passes, remaining open for
much of the year even in winter, apart from periods of actual snowfall. Tangse,
just beyond the foot of the pass, has an ancient temple.
But
the main attraction of this circuit is the Pangong Lake, situated at 14,000
feet (4,267 M). A long narrow basin of inland drainage, hardly six to seven
kilometers at its widest point to which foreigners are permitted, is only some
seven km along the southern shore from the head of the lake, but it affords
spectacular views of the mountains of the Changchenmo range to the north, their
reflection shimmering in the ever-changing blues and greens of the lakes
brackish water. Above Spangmik are the glacier and snow-capped peaks of the
Pangong range.
