16 km southeast of Leh, on the road to Thiksey. The former summer capital of Ladakh, Shey Palace (Naropa Palace) was built in 1665 by the King of Ladakh on a small hilltop. It resembles a miniature Potala. Preceded by several smaller chörtens, the main monastery houses a large gilded copper Buddha statue dating from the 17th century. From up here, the view over the valley is superb. Down below, you'll see a pond sacred to Buddhists. On sunny days, the palace is reflected in the water. Buses from Leh to Thiksey stop at Shey (20-minute journey, Rs 20).
