\"Shey<\/a><\/p>\n

Shey Palace and Monastery are located at a distance of about 15 kilometers from Leh. It sits on the top of a hill on the Manali Leh Highway in Shey Village and is among the most picturesque monasteries of Ladakh.<\/p>\n

At an elevation of 11,204 feet (3,415 meters), it commands an excellent view of the Indus Valley flood plains and the surroundings of Thikse, Stakna, Matho, Stok, and Leh. If you are into photography, this is one place in Ladakh that you definitely do not want to miss.<\/p>\n

A trip to Shey Monastery and Palace can be a stand-alone affair or a part of a day-long monastery tour around Leh. If you were short on time, you can also include it with your trip to Pangong Tso and Tso Moriri.<\/p>\n

Another option can be to cover the monastery while traveling between Leh and Manali.\u00a0In this article, I will provide more information on how to reach Shey, what to see there, things to observe, and accommodation choices.<\/p>\n
