Places To Visit In Kargil

Suru Valley

In all of Ladakh, the Suru Valley is recognized as having the most fertile and stunning valley. The Suru River runs through the valley, which is dotted with charming villages. It is a location that tourists must go to because of its attractive topography, opportunities for sightseeing, photography, and spectacular views. The Suru Valley is located just across the Penzi La on Kargil Road. It spans from Kargil in the south to Zanskar across a distance of about 85 km.

Rangdum Monastery

Because it is situated on a mountain on an outcrop, Rangdum Monastery resembles a fort more than a monastery. It is a must-see tourist destination in Ladakh because of its scenic setting and substantial collection of different things.

At a height of 3,657 metres, Rangdum Monastery is situated at the beginning of Suru Valley, around 160 kilometres from Kargil. Hills, rocky outcrops, and distant peaks with snow-capped summits surround it.

Mulbekh Monastery

It is estimated that Mulbekh Monastery's two gompas were built around 800 years ago. The 30-foot-tall Maitreya Buddha monument, which is carved on a huge stone block, overlooks the Leh-Kargil highway.

The Shaivite and Buddhist ideologies are combined in the statue. There are ancient inscriptions nearby, as well as a command from King Lde ordering the people to discontinue goat sacrifices.

Kargil War Memorial

A metal plate with the names of the men who lost their lives during Operation Vijay is attached to the pink sandstone wall that makes up the Kargil War Memorial, a must-see location. Cliffhangers will provide you with the best guides to explore these areas around Kargil War Memorial

Viewing some of the important wartime occurrences is possible for memorial visitors. There is also a documentary that recounts the entire conflict and the circumstances leading up to it in great detail.

There is also a gift shop where you can buy hats, mugs, and t-shirts. From the memorial, visitors may see Tololing Heights, Tiger Hill, and Point 4875 (Batra Top), which were all used as battlegrounds during the conflict.

 

Lang Tso and Stat Tso Lakes

The twin lakes known as Lang Tso and Stat Tso are just around the corner from the Pensi La Pass, which connects Zuru Valley to Zanskar Valley. Due to their magnificent beauty, which must be seen to be believed, they are popular tourist locations in Ladakh. These two beautiful lakes are so clear and immaculate that you can see the snow-capped peaks of Zanskar mirrored in them. You can also have fun by camping close to the lake.While savoring the peacefulness of the surroundings, you can also shoot as many photos as you like.
