Shanti stupa
Feeling a bit lazy after the grueling ride that we had been through, we decided to visit the closest place - Shanti Stupa first.
Another idea was to take only two motorcycles now, I was sitting pillion behind Shrenik so that I could do more “drive-by shooting” ;-)
It helped a bit, as we saw some interesting sights on the way. A beautiful hotel…
And some nice Royal Enfield Bullets parked outside another hotel
We were welcomed to the hill on which Shanti Stupa is situated
A short climb afterwards, we were there. Colorful prayer flags were fluttering in the wind
As flames calmly kept burning, protected from the wind
Artisans and laborers were busy building up and beautifying premises of the Stupa
The Shanti Stupa
Man and God, creating beauty together…

Leh Palace, from behind
After this, we had lunch, again the same thukpa soup and momos… and came back to the guest house for rest.
