Gurudwara Pathar Sahib sits on the Srinagar-Leh Road at some 25 km from Leh. Much revered by people of all faiths, it is dedicated to Guru Nanak. Going by the folklore, it was built to house an unmovable boulder. Back in the year 1970, this boulder was discovered during the road construction but could not be moved by any machine. As per the story, Guru Nanak appeared in the dreams of monks, the construction workers and the Army and asked them not to remove the boulder! Thus, a gurudwara was built to preserve the same. Almost all the vehicles on the stretch take a stop at the gurudwara to pay respect and pray for a safe journey on the rather treacherous roads.
