Shanti
Stupa of Ladakh is located on the hilltop at Changspa. It can be reached
quite easily from the Fort Road. The Stupa was constructed by a Japanese
Buddhist organization, known as 'The Japanese for World Peace'. The aim
behind the construction of the stupa was to commemorate 2500 years of
Buddhism and to promote World Peace. His Holiness, the Dalai Lama
inaugurated the Shanti Stupa in the year 1985. A magnificent white-domed structure, the Shanti Stupa of Leh Ladakh offers spectacular views of the sunrise and sunset. The stupa looks best at night, when it is beautifully illuminated with glittering lights. A large number of tourists come to Ladakh every year to visit this amazing stupa.
