Shey was the more fortified of the two, while Leh was in the prime position for trade. The town's growth in importance is relegated by the building of the first royal residency on top of Namguyal peaks. Leh's prosperity derived from its location at the foot of the “Khardung La”, the gateway of the infamous trade route to “Yarkand” in Turkistan.
