Shanti Stupa

Snoozing atop Leh landscape
The Shanti Stupa offers beautiful views of Leh - there are 2 ways to get up here, a road which takes vehicles right to the top, or the 500 steps climb up from the end of Changspa, needless to say...always climb!

Symbol of peace.

A SMALL VILLAGE WITH A HUGE HEART

A repeat visit to a region often means the opportunity to go a little deeper, to discover and be surprised.

During my second visit to Ladakh I didn’t need to wander very far from Leh, the beating heart of Ladakh, to connect with a little village and its community as deeply as I did.

From being introduced to one of the most pioneering education facilities I’ve seen to being invited to a gathering of the community, the little village of Phyang certainly has a lot going for it.

At the end of my visit to the village I stopped along the way up to the local monastery which towers over Phyang and took a moment to take in a truly incredible view that remains imprinted in my memory from that day.
