Guru Nanak Dev Ji visited this site during his Udasi pilgrimage around 1517 CE. Legend says a demon pushed a massive boulder toward him; upon contact, the rock softened like wax, imprinting Guru Nanak’s form—and the demon was humbled to seek forgiveness. This sacred boulder remains inside the Gurdwara
Maintained by the Indian Army (esp. the Sikh regiment) and local BRO personnel, ensuring upkeep and hospitality
Altitude: Situated over 12,000 feet, it’s among the highest Sikh Gurdwaras in the world
Visitor Amenities: Features include tea, Karah Prasad, Langar, the sacred boulder in the Hall, and volunteer-run hospitality
Connectivity: The Leh region (including Nimmu and Kargil) has limited mobile service; several SIMs may not work reliably. Jio and Airtel 4G is available around Leh, but it's sparse at the Gurdwara itself
Best Time to Visit: May to September are ideal—roads open, weather mild, and spectacular Himalayan vistas available
