    A great place maintained extremely poorly by the ASI

    The Palace in itself is unique. A 5 storied building made from brick and mud. Decorated wooden beams and pillars. Windows adorned with intricate wood carving. One gets a birds eye view of city of Leh. So far so good. Coming to maintenance; its really...More

    High experience

    Unique palace at the top of Leh. From main market a path leads to it giving a tunnel like experience. Minimally accessorised with a number of stories to reach the top. Must visit when in Leh

    Stunning view from the top

    Apart from the temple, what remains here are the ruins of the royal Shey Palace. You need to climb to the top to get the view.

    Enjoyable Royal Palace visit

    Tour needs climbing through multiple steps. Entrance fee required. The Palace is closed in the evening. Photography is allowed in most areas.

    Adventurous Journey from market to the Palace.

    It's so hard to explain in words about the feeling a place gives you. But if you are visiting the palace I have a suggestion for you. Walk to the Palace from the market. Ask anyone and they will mostly point towards a narrow passage...More

    Could have been an interesting tourist attraction

    The concept and layout of the palace are unique. However, most of it is under repairs and they seemed to be done rather poorly. There are no information boards or guides to help understand and appreciate this historical landmark.
