HILL : Defying the Law of gravity. This place is close to the Gurdwara Shri Patthar Sahib. It has

up-hill that/’s the Believe it or not of Ladakh! GURDWARA SHRI PATTHAR SAHIB: The Shrine
known as Gurdwara Patthar sahib is situated about 25 kms. Short of Leh town on the Leh-
Srinagar road. Built in the everlasting memory of Shri Guru Nanak Deve Ji the great prophet who
sanctified the place by his sacred visit during the year 1517 while on his second missionary tour
(2nd Udassi 1515-1518). The Guru reached here via Nepal, Sikkim, Tibet Yarkand and Leh after (2nd Udassi 1515-1518). The Guru reached here via Nepal, Sikkim, Tibet Yarkand and Leh after
having spiritual discourses with the sidhas at Mount Sumer (Central Himalayas). On the hill
features across the road, there used to live a wicked demon that terrorized the people of the
area. Their miseries multiplied day by day. As their miseries became unbearable they prayed for
divine help. It is said that the Great Guru heard their woes and came to their rescue. The Guru
settled down on the bank of the river flowing nearby. The people sought for help and the Guru
blessed the people and became very popular in the area. The locals called him as Nanak Lama.
The Demon got enraged and started making plans to kill Guru Nanak. One morning, when the
Guru was sitting in meditation, he rolled down a big boulder from the hilltop with the aim of killing
the Guru. But on the very touch of Guru/’s body, the solid rock melted like wax and Guru/’s back
got embedded on it like a cushion. The Guru kept on sitting in meditation undisturbed. Thinking
that the Guru must have been killed, the demon came down but was taken aback on seeing the
Guru in meditation, undisturbed. With a rage of anger he tried to push the rock with his right foot
but the rock had already became like wax his foot also got embedded into it. On this , he realized
his folly and powerlessness as compared to the spiritual power of the Great Guru. He fell on the
feet of Guru and humbly prayed to be pardoned. The Guru advised him to get rid of his
wickedness and lead the life of a nobel person, in the service of humanity. This changed the life
style of demon and he started serving the people. The Guru there after continued his Holy
journey towards Srinagar and Kashmir via Kargil. The boulder having imprint of the Guru/’s back
is lying in the Gurdwara to this day. CONFLUENCE OF THE ZANSKAR & INDUS : On way to

after by monks from the Liker monastery. This is the only monastery amongst 34 monasteries,
which is not located on a hilltop. LADAKH HALL OF FAME : The Hall of Fame is a glorious
museum constructed by the Indian Army. It is worth a visit for every citizen. You can see the
