The view from the rooftop was amazing, but unfortunately it was cloudly. I launched a long-exposure shot with ND filters and set up my drone for a quick flight over the Palace. 10 minutes later I realized that my long-exposure catched by surprise the only sunrays. Pure luck shot!

The royal palace, known as Leh Palace, was built by King Sengge Namgyal (1612–1642) . . . [It] is nine storeys high; the upper floors accommodated the royal family, and the stables and storerooms are located on the lower floors. The palace was abandoned when Kashmiri forces besieged it in the mid-19th century. The royal family moved their premises south to their current home in Stok Palace on the southern bank of the Indus.

Shanti Stupa is a Buddhist white-domed stupa (chorten) on a hilltop in Chanspa, Leh district, Ladakh, in the north Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir.

Leh was the capital of the Himalayan kingdom of Ladakh, now the Leh district in the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir. Leh is at an altitude of 3524 metres (11,562 ft), and connects via National Highway 1D to Srinagar in the southwest and to Manali in the south via the Leh-Manali Highway.
Leh was an important stopover on trade routes along the Indus Valley between Tibet to the east, Kashmir to the west and also between India and China for centuries. Also, there were both the summer and winter routes from Leh to Yarkand across the Karakorum.
Since the 8th century people belonging to different religions, particularly Buddhism and Islam, have been living in harmony in Leh.
