One can go to the confluence point of the Indus and Zanskar rivers on a day trip visiting all the sightseeing points in and around Leh. The most amazing pat of this confluence is the two distinctive shades of blue converging together.The views are best seen as you travel to this point from Leh on the NH1. This is suppose to be one of the highest altitude river rafting points. So if you are visiting during the month of june july you can give it a shot. There is also a small canteen near the entrance. One can enjoy the marvelous views sitting near the stairs that lead down to the sangam point while sipping your hot coffee.

LAMO is located just below the Leh Palace which means that you've to ascend a bit to reach here. When I visited, I was the only one as it was off season. The entry ticket was INR 100. The 'museum' is built in a traditional house. The first gallery had an exhibition of the early travelers to Ladakh. Further on, I got a glimpse of how locals lived in the early days in traditional houses. Be prepared to climb narrow & steep stairs even inside LAMO. In summer, the organization conducts workshops for local children. One can volunteer here too. Not a big museum but a good one to learn about Ladakhi culture & heritage. A small room in the front also sells souvenirs.
