Confluence of Indus and Road to Changthang:
Upshi holds strategic and scenic importance where the Indus River meets the road leading to the Changthang plateau. The river flows gently between stark, arid mountains, creating a tranquil and photogenic landscape.

Traditional Ladakhi Homes and Farming:
The village is home to traditional stone-and-mud Ladakhi houses designed for harsh winters. Locals still practice time-honored agriculture using ancient irrigation systems to grow barley, wheat, and peas.

Local Stupas and Chortens:
Dotting the hills and roadsides, these small Buddhist structures, often adorned with prayer flags, reflect the village’s enduring spiritual and cultural traditions.
