Moonland of India, an Unique place in Ladakh.

Ladakh is a backpacker’s haven, with emerald lakes, trekking trails and valleys. Also known as the land of monasteries and monks, beautiful villages tucked away in picturesque landscapes, there is a lot to experience here.

But in between all this I visited an adorable place known as Moonland of India and was fascinated by its geographical landscape structures. Home of one of the oldest monasteries in Ladakh, Lamayuru monastery is the main attraction here.

Originally, the monastery had five buildings, though now only the central building exists. Even after losing much of its valour, it still remains a favourite jaunt for photographers and inquisitive travellers.

How to reach Lamayuru?

The easiest and the most comfortable way to visit Lamayuru is via a cab from Leh. In summers, you can opt for buses, which might take a much longer time, but fun, adventure and affordability assured.

Needless to say, everything about Ladakh is exhilarating. Almost every corner of Ladakh, just like Lamayuru, will pump you with extra energy, amuse you with its beauty, and create memories for a lifetime.
