Leh Palace is a prominent feature on the map of Ladakh, standing on the Tsemo Hill, with a backdrop of Himalayan Mountains. Its construction was ordered by the founder of Namgyal Dynasty of Ladakh, Tsewang Namgyal, in 1553 and completed in during the rule of his nephew, King Sengge Namgyal in the 17th century.

 

Architecture and History
The architecture of the palace is of the medieval Tibetan style and bears resemblance to the Potala Palace in Lhasa. The top floors in its nine storeys, accommodated the royal family, while the lower ones were for the stables and store rooms. It features large bolstered walls and overhanging wooden balconies. The royal family was forced to flee to Stok after the Dogras took charge of Ladakh in the mid-19th century. Since that abandonment, it has never been reoccupied.

 

Presently
The palace structure is in ruins as it has witnessed some of the most brutal wars of that region and the walls have suffered severe damages from cannon balls. The Archeological Conservation Organization of India is working on its maintenance and its office is located inside the palace premises. Reaching at the top is a thrilling walk through dark corridors and hidden stairways. The Leh Palace has not lost its charm and offers spectacular views of the surrounding landscape.

    Honeymoon Trip- Leh (5th Jun 2013) I am a Central Government employee and wish to thank “Shubh Tour and Travel Consultancy” for organizing our honeymoon-trip to Leh in Ladakh... I would like to start the feedback right from the day I called up Shubhttc Team to arrange this tour for me. It was you who was dealing with all the formalities and details of the trip. The explanation and the clarity with which you explained all the details were really great. Our trip was to start on the 05th June from Delhi, and after relaxing for one day in Super Deluxe accommodation, we went to Nubra valley. The trip to Nubra was adventurous but due to personal health issues I decided to re-arrange trip-plan. When I told Shubhttc Team about the whole issue, you were very calm and composed, in-fact after listening to you, I got the confidence that my problems are being dealt by the right person. With-in a span of 10 minutes you had rearranged the whole of the trip, it was simply amazing to see such efficiency. Furthermore, you always kept in touch with us during the whole trip and this was a really very warm gesture. And yes, how can I forget a yummy cake presented by your side in our room....It was superb in taste :) I really thank Shubhttc Team for such a wonderful experience you gave to us and I would personally always want you to arrange for any of the tours I ever plan. Looking forward for a long lasting relationship ever ....forever :) ...more
