Nestled roughly 2,000 feet below Leh, Alchi is one of Ladakh’s most enchanting villages — and one of its best-kept secrets for travelers who want to arrive well and settle in gently. Because of its lower elevation, Alchi is widely regarded as the ideal place to acclimatize to Ladakh’s high altitude; spending a night or two here allows your body to adjust gradually — avoiding altitude sickness, improving sleep quality, and letting you truly enjoy the days ahead. For those seeking the best luxury stay in Leh Ladakh, this natural advantage, paired with remarkable surroundings, makes Alchi an obvious first choice.

A must-see, depicting the fusion of Buddhist and Hindu arts in wall paintings from the tenth century. Built by the great translator "Lotsava Rinchen Zangpo", it is said that every painter was imported from Kashmir, resulting in a blend of traditional Buddhist and Hindu artwork.
The monastery has beautiful murals on its walls inn the different temples in the complex. The other thing of real geographical and historical interest are the petroglyphs that are found along the road as you go to Alchi Monastery. I hope the ASI will do more to preserve these rock drawings as they are in danger of being obliterated
