Alchi Village
Alchi is a small village about 70 kms away from the city of Leh. The first impression one gets, is how the location of a famous monastery has lent its identity to this small but scenic village that has sprung up with small cafes, craft shops, and home stays.
Interestingly it is one of the oldest monasteries, but its lies on a lowland and not high up on a hilltop. The unique style and workmanship is influenced by the Kashimiri style of architecture and painting.
