Shanti Stupa, Leh by N. Sukumar, APSA

March 2026 - Shanti Stupa, Leh

About the Image(s)

The Ladakh Shanti (peace) stupa in Leh, at 11,387', offers a 360-degree view of the mountain-ringed city of Leh (capital of Ladakh) and its environs. It was built in 1991 by Japanese Buddhist monk Gyomyo Nakamura. Shot with my Vivo V23e 5G phone @ 4 mm. f/1.8 @ 1/2500 sec. ISO: 101.
I realize this view doesn't provide much context except for the background sky, but since it is situated on top of a high hill overlooking the city of Leh, it is difficult to capture the details on the monument together with the surroundings, short of flying a drone. I hope it still works as a Photo Travel image.
