The nearest hotels make the palace a walk. New Antelope and Grand Himalaya are 2 minutes on foot, The Hotel Himalaya Leh is 3 minutes, and LeHostel, Hotel Apple Tree, Hotel Blue Stone, Hotel Kang Lha Chen, Indus Serenity Retreat Ladakh, Lungpa Valley Skara, Malik Palace, New Royal Guest House, Oasis Villa, Pacific Parlase and Palace View are all around 4 minutes. From these, walking is the obvious way to reach the landmark. For anyone staying further out, a short taxi or auto-rickshaw ride covers the distance comfortably. Arriving in Leh by air means Kushok Bakula Rimpochee Airport, and a taxi from there to a hotel near the palace is the usual final leg. By road, the Manali-Leh and Srinagar-Leh highways bring you into town, after which the palace is close at hand.
