Gurudwara Pathar Sahib
A Sikh gurdwara maintained by the Indian Army, commemorating the founder of Sikhism, Guru Nanak. It offers free hot tea and vegetarian meals.
The gurdwara lies about 25 km west of Leh. According to legend, while Guru Nanak was meditating here, a demon pushed a huge boulder toward him, but the stone softened like wax and left an imprint of his body. The stone is still enshrined inside the temple. The gurdwara is managed by the Indian Army. Visitors must remove their shoes, wash their feet and cover their heads with a scarf, which is provided at the entrance. Entry is free, and after your visit you can get free tea and snacks in the dining hall. It is usually visited on the same route as Magnetic Hill.
