It is a religious place and beautiful views of mountains and nature are worth seeing from here. Shanti Stupa is constructed about 3600 meters above sea level. It is a hub for adventure enthusiasts because of its awesomeness. The architecture of Shanti Stupa has been done in a way to make it a two-tier structure. On the first level, there are reliefs of the Dharma Chakra with deer on each side and a central golden Buddha image seated on a platform. On the second level, there are depictions of the Buddha's birth and death and defeating devils while meditating. However, on both levels, one can see a series of small meditating Buddha reliefs.
