A lot of people visit Sham Valley unknowingly when they visit Ladakh but I felt there is a need to formally introduce this beautiful place near Leh to all of you. Continuing on my efforts for building up the most comprehensive travel guide of Leh Ladakh, in this very article I will try to explain the places of interest in Sham Valley Ladakh.

Sham Valley includes Alchi, Likir, Basgo, Zanskar and Indus Confluence at Nimmu, Magnetic Hills, Gurudwara Pather Sahib… Gosh, a long list but they all are very much close to each other and requires about 160 km of drive for the complete tour and back to Leh in a day.
