'''Datun Sahib''' is the name of a tree in the main bazaar at [[Leh]], [[Ladakh]], [[India]]. [[Guru Nanak]] visited this site around 1516. There is no [[Gurudwara]] at the site, but the remains of a large [[Salvadora persica|meswak]] tree are located behind the Jamia Masjid in the main bazaar at Leh. The Datun Sahib is located close to the Leh Palace, on a lane which mainly houses bread makers. <br />
<br />
Datun Sahib contains a nishan sahib and a tree wrapped with orange cloth. A yellow board in front of the tree refers to the visit of [[Guru Nanak|"Rimpoche Nanak"]] (Holy Nanak) around 1516. Guru Nanak was revered by both [[Buddhist]]s and [[Muslim]]s. It is said that Leh was devoid of greenery at the time, but Nanak blessed the city with greenery by planting a meswak tree. There are two main Singh Sabha Gurudwaras located within one kilometre of the site.<br />
