The most beautiful hikes and walks from Leh
Unexpected lots of nice hiking trips

View from Stupa Nezer Latho
Abandoned outlook of Leh

It is not easy to find the way to it, so it is outside the interest of the mass tourists. continue reading
Ascent to Namgyal Tsemo Gompa
The most favourite outlook to Leh

Also for this reason it is better to ascent here on foot rather than take a taxi from the other side. In addition, the views from the top are fantastic, especially at sunset. continue reading
