About Leh Palace

Leh Palace is a historic castle rising above the town of Leh, and it remains one of the town's best-known attractions. Visitors come to look up at its long, tiered walls and to take in the views over the surrounding valley and the rooftops below. The main bazaar area of Leh, close to shops, restaurants and travel agencies, sits near the foot of the climb, so the palace fits easily into a day of wandering the centre. Changspa, a quieter neighbourhood within walking distance of the centre, is known for its guesthouses and views of Leh Palace. Many travellers plan a stay in Leh around a visit here, and with 38 hotels within 500 m, 127 within 1 km and 217 within 2 km, there is no shortage of places to sleep close by.

Tips for staying near Leh Palace

  • Leh sits at an elevation of about 3,500 metres (11,500 feet), so give yourself time to acclimatise before walking up to the palace. A slow first day in the bazaar area helps.
  • The best time to visit Leh is from May to September, when the weather is mild and roads are generally open. This period also sees the most festivals and trekking activity.
  • Road access via the Manali-Leh or Srinagar-Leh highways is usually open from May to October, so plan arrivals by road within those months and keep flights as the alternative.
  • Even in summer, evenings in Leh can be cool. Pack layers, sun protection and sturdy shoes for the walk up to the palace.
  • Winter in Leh is very cold, with temperatures often below freezing, and many businesses close. Travellers prepared for the cold can still visit, but should book their room early.
