Amazing viewpoint, peaceful not much of a crowd there are two routes to get there, if u prefer walking ill suggest take the stairs, its just 400m else u can walk the long way around which is less steeper and takes around 1.5kms. the view from the top is mesmerising u can view the entire leh city and mountains from top. id recommend visit around sunset time to enjoy the beauty of this place

Shanti Stupa is exactly what it sounds like. One of the most serene and peaceful places to visit in entire Leh. The view of Leh from the top is magnificent. You will enjoy your entire time there if you just visit around the sunset when you can have a brilliant look at the last rays of the sun illuminating the white snow capped mountains and turning them golden in colour. It also has an amazing place to meditate in the premises where you can sit for hours and feel as if moments have passed. It is a must visit place if you are visiting Leh.

It is the most famous tourist attraction around Leh. It's architectural style is different from the Ladakhi style. It overlooks the city of Leh, providing panoramic views of the city, the village of Chanspa, Namgyal Tsemo in the distance and the surrounding mountains. Sunrise and sunset are considered to provide the best views from Shanti Stupa. The Stupa is open for tourists between 8:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m.

Very divine and peaceful experience. We spent few hours here. Evening is good here because it will be a bit cool. Lots of nice views. It's ticketed and enough place to park the car or bike.

Watching sunset from this place is next level of beauty. We can see whole leh from this point. It closes at 8pm and is having 30rs entry fee. A must go point if you are in leh.

Built to promote world peace and prosperity as well as to commemorate 2500 years of Buddhism, Shanti Stupa is the major attraction in Leh. Perched on the mountain top, this religious place also offers a panoramic view of the city and the surroundings, and thus is a must-see.

A tourist attraction in Leh , it has magnificent aerial views of Leh town. The place has a parking space and ticket of Rs 100. There is a prayer hall with a beautiful Buddha statue where ine can sit and meditate. A bit crowded in peak season. Worth the visit.

It's always good to be here whenever in Leh. Apart from the inner peace that one gets here once he/she is here is something that's hit one differently. Another plus point from the location per se is the panoramic view of beautiful Leh City and the snow clad mountains in the distance that one can view throughout the year. The only negative point here is the people that come here. Even after things have been written boldly about not to shout within the vicinity of the Stupa one can find many the so called literate people shouting loudly as if it's a fish market.
