This Gurudwara houses a rock with the imprint of a Sikh that supposedly prayed here and was supposed to be crushed by the rock, but miraculously survived.

Gyamche La Pass, 4,810 m
If you take an early morning bus (8AM?) to Phyang village (3,600 m) in the parallel valley west of Leh, this trail leads you by the Gyamche La Pass and back into Leh from the north. This is a proper full day hike of 20 km, and considering its 1,200 m altitude gain, it will require some time. On the way, you can also visit Phyang Monastery.
4,133 m
A 2-hr hike (3 km) with a great view of Leh and the valley. The trail starts in the very north of Leh.
Built by a Japanese Buddhist group. This modern stupa is somewhat kitschy, but still worth a visit.
Soma Gompa
Just around the corner from Main Bazaar, it's a large modern gompa. It's also the location of the Ladakhi Buddhist Association, a conservative political organisation with ties to Hindutva groups.
