Overlooking
Leh, Leh Palace is one of the major attractions in
Ladakh,
Jammu and Kashmir. This 9 storey palace was built in 17th century for King Singge Namgyal. Perched on the edge of a hill, it resembles a miniature version of the Potola in Lhasa, Tibet.
Leh Palace was the home of the royal family until they were exiled to Stok in the 1830s. Today this palace is a branch of Indian Government's archaeological conservation organization.
There is a Victory Tower above the palace, at the top of the Namgyal hill.
