The next day you can have breakfast and then leave to see a full day sightseeing of the place. You would get to see the Thiksey Monastery, the Shay Palace, and the Hemi Monastery which are all located on the banks of the River Indus.</p>
<p>The next day you can visit Khardongla and the drive up to this place is mesmerisingly beautiful. This is in fact the highest motorable road in the entire world. This is where you would have a beautiful view of the Stok and the Karakoram Range. After all this come back to the Leh Bazaar and enjoy the shopping that you could do here.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.journeyidea.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Leh-Bazaar.jpg" rel="lightbox[8051]"><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-8053" title="Leh Bazaar" src="http://www.journeyidea.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Leh-Bazaar.jpg" alt="Leh Bazaar" width="535" height="401" /></a><br />
This tour of Ladakh exposes you to the finest regions in this part of the world and gives you great travel pleasures. <strong>Ladakh</strong> is a great place with a lovely tradition of being a place with a lot of travel interests. This has been the most interesting place to visit and even today invokes the interest and the curiosity of all those who come here. This is a great tourist spot for the tourist simply because it fills his travel palate and also because it has a simple charm that enchants the tourist.</p>
<p>The monastery of Shey is a place where the tourists normally go while on a <strong>Ladakh</strong> tour and this is located on a hill around 15 km from Leh.  This was earlier the place where the royal family resided and where the pre Tibetan kings had their power. There is a beautiful statue of Buddha here made of copper and is around 7.5 metre high. Plated with gold this is the largest of its kind that has been installed here in this lovely monastery.</p>
<p>Then there is the Thikse Monastery which is a beautifully constructed Gompa. The architectural elegance of this structure is to be seen to be believed. The temples in the Gompa have images, wall paintings and stupas of the Buddha and these really look exquisite.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.journeyidea.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Thikse-Monastery.jpg" rel="lightbox[8051]"><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-8054" title="Thikse Monastery" src="http://www.journeyidea.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Thikse-Monastery.jpg" alt="Thikse Monastery" width="535" height="355" /></a><br />
The Hemis Monastery is another monastery that is a great architectural feat. This is in fact, the wealthiest and the biggest Gompa here in the region of Ladakh. There is a famous festival held here annually so the monastery is popular across the world. The festival that is celebrated here is in memory of the Guru Padma Sambhava&#8217;s birth anniversary. This also has the largest Thanka which is normally unfurled once in 12 years. Constructed in the year 1630, this was built in the time of the Sengge Namgyal who was a famous ruler in <a title=" Mountaineering in Ladakh" href="http://www.journeyidea.com/mountaineering-in-ladakh">Ladakh</a>. The monastery flourished under this royal dynasty very well and the fact that the dynasty supported the Drugkpa Sect really helped. The monastery is divided into the Main temple on the left hand side and the Assembly Hall on the right hand side.</p>
<p>Ladakh tours are always interesting and enchanting.</p>

<p>At Chilling the river Zanskar is seen flowing and one crosses this river with the help of a pulley cable that continues till the most popular region the Markha Valley here. In fact the Markha Valley is considered to be the best in the <a title="Rupshu Trek in Ladakh travels" href="http://www.journeyidea.com/rupshu-trek-in-ladakh-travels">Ladakh</a> valleys.</p>

<p>Normally all treks in Ladakh start from Leh. So this is where you would find yourself ensconced in the best surroundings such that you would gear yourself for the forthcoming exciting trek. At Leh you can go around the Hemis, Thikse and Shey monasteries. Then the next day you could drive to Uleytokpo and then also have a look at the Alchi monastery.</p>
<p>Then drive across to Lamayuru and see this lovely monastery of the 10th century and which is also one of the oldest Ladakhi monastic sites.</p>

<p><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-8004" title="Prinkitila" src="http://www.journeyidea.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Prinkitila.jpg" alt="Prinkitila" width="536" height="347" /></p>
<p>Then the next morning enjoy the sights as you go up the path in the Penji village and here is where you leave the actual trek path and go up to the Valley of Ripchar to a place called Hinju.</p>
<p>After the overnight stay here you would pass the lovely grazing regions and then reach the Konzela base where there are lot of summer camps. It is interesting and fascinating to enjoy the Ladakh surroundings and to experience the beauty of Ladakh treks.</p>

<p>Chilling is a place you would love to be in and as you reach this place finally you would find the Sumda village lying on the left bank of the river. There is a ridge here which will take you to the Dunduchunla Pass lying at a height of 4435m. Go to the camp that is here at Chilling. Here the locals would be the metal workers making the Ladakhi copper utensils.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.journeyidea.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Chilling.jpg" rel="lightbox[8002]"><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-8005" title="Chilling" src="http://www.journeyidea.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Chilling.jpg" alt="Chilling" width="534" height="357" /></a></p>
<p>Then the following day after camping at Chilling, cross the Zanskar with the help of the pulley cable and then go up the path trekking up to the region of Skiu where there again is a camp.</p>
<p>An overnight halt here and you reach the Markha region which is around at a height of 3810 m . Walk up this place the whole day till you reach the River Markha and then the Chalak village. This is where you would find the goat horns and the chortens which lie beyond the village. There would be another camp overnight here and you would trail up to the Hankar village. There is a beautiful valley here and as you go up the narrow valley you would reach the lovely verdant expanse of Thachungtse.</p>
