This holy gurudwara was constructed in memory of Guru Nanak Dev Ji and is now a place of worship.
The next tourist attraction is Magnetic Hills. This hill provides the most thrilling experience one can ever have. Here instead of vehicles going downwards on the slope, move upwards. It looks like a supernatural show but in reality, this is because it is a cyclops hill. This actually happens at the hill and on your Enchanting Ladakh Tour, you will come close to experiencing it yourself.
