The hall has been built inside a museum that was erected by the Indian Army in honor of soldiers who perished during the various wars that have been fought in this region.

MAGNETIC HILL:-
Perched at an altitude of 14,000 ft, Magnetic Hill is one of the most intriguing spots in the country. This tiny hillock is said to defy gravity as it tends to pull vehicles upwards. It is quite thrilling to defy the laws of science and be pulled in the opposite direction. The scientific theory states that there is a strong magnetic force emanating from the hills that defies gravity at this particular spot. It is a good pitstop on the highway and serves as a break in between mundane road travel. Do note that it is best to visit between May to September when the road is easily accessible. There is a board that marks the location of the magnetic hill, so it cannot be missed while driving down the highway. Local Ladakhi superstition believes that the road is a straight stairway to heaven.

CONFLENCE OF THE ZANSKAR:
Indus river originated from the great Himalayan ranges and the Zanskar river originates from the Zanskar ranges. Zanskar river is shiny blue in color, on the other hand, Indus looks a little green. Zanskar meets Indus in Nimmu valley from the northeast. This is a scenic view for the visitors and they find it fascinating to mark both the rivers even after their confluence
