Gurudwara Pather Sahib is located in the periphery of Leh on the Leh-Kargil road. It was constructed in the memory of Guru Nanak Dev ji. It is believed that during the years 1515-18, when Guru Nanak was returning to Punjab via Srinagar, after travelling to Sikkim, Nepal and Tibet, he had rested at this place. When he reached Leh he sat here to meditate. While here, Guru Nanak vanquished a demon who was trying to crush him with a boulder.
