Monasteries and Villages of the Lower Indus Valley
About
Sham Valley lies west of Leh along the lower Indus Valley and offers an accessible introduction to Ladakh’s monasteries, villages and mountain landscapes. The region is known for its scenic roads, cultural sites and traditional settlements. It is well suited to day trips or short extensions from Leh and provides a gentler introduction to Ladakhi heritage before longer journeys into more remote areas.
