It was the cold Wednesday morning when I made the wrong
choice to fly from Srinagar to Leh but I didn’t know there was a blessing in
disguise. I booked Hotel Omasila in
Leh, Ladakh and from there my first stop
was going to be Shanti Stupa. The
journey from my hotel to Shanti Stupa was amazingly beautiful with clear blue
sky and the Leh palace in its background, shanti stupa looked more beautiful
than I imagined. Shanti stupa was built in 1991 by Japanese Buddhist Bhikshu
Gyomyo Nakamura. Shanti Stupa holds the relics of the Buddha at its base,
enshrined by the 14th Dalai Lama himself.
