In the early years of the seventeenth century the Lion King of Ladakh, Sengge Namgyal ordered the construction of a great palace. Situated atop the Himalayan city of Leh, now in the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir, it was the home of his dynastic descendants until their overthrow and exile in 1834.
Once the world's highest building, Leh Palace has been abandoned since then. Yet it remains a majestic presence in this area of India often referred to as Little Tibet.

If the country were smart they would try fixing up the palace and make it safe enough to give guided tours.
Enough people come to Tibet for the scenery, the holy cities and the 'energy', so if there were some ads about a palace tour I would think that would definitely bring in some revenue for the country.
