A Beacon of Peace in the Himalayas Perched atop a hill in Chanspa, Leh, the Shanti Stupa stands as a majestic white dome, a symbol of peace and tranquility amidst the breathtaking Himalayan landscape.
Built in 1991 by a Japanese Buddhist monk, Bhikshu Gyomyo Nakamura, the Shanti Stupa was a collaborative effort between Japanese and Ladakhi Buddhists. It serves both as a religious site and a popular tourist attraction.
The two-level stupa embodies the message of peace, holding the relics of Buddha enshrined at its base by the 14th Dalai Lama. The four white domes represent the four stages of Buddha's life – birth, enlightenment, teaching, and nirvana.
he ascent to the stupa itself offers a rewarding experience. The climb provides stunning panoramic views of the Leh city and the surrounding Changspa village.
Whether you're a Buddhist pilgrim or simply seeking a peaceful retreat, the Shanti Stupa offers a sanctuary of serenity. Witness the rituals practiced by devotees as they circumambulate the stupa, offering prayers and spinning prayer wheels.
Take a moment to reflect on the message of peace encapsulated by the stupa. Immerse yourself in the tranquil atmosphere, escape the hustle and bustle of the city, and experience the beauty of Ladakhi culture.
