About Leh Palace

Leh Palace is a famous landmark in Ladakh, offering a glimpse into the region’s royal history. It was once the royal family’s home, built by King Sengge Namgyal in the 17th century. The palace follows Tibetan architectural styles, similar to the Potala Palace in Lhasa, Tibet. Whether you are visiting through Leh Ladakh tour packages or travelling on your own, Leh Palace is a must-visit to understand Ladakh’s rich past.


The palace is built with stone walls, wooden windows, and beautiful murals that tell the story of Ladakh’s royal family. Though it’s now in ruins, it still has a lot of charm. You can enjoy panoramic views of Leh town and the snow-covered mountains from the top. Visiting Leh Palace is not only about seeing the architecture but also about exploring the history of Ladakh and its royal family.
