\"Lamayuru<\/a><\/p>\n

Lamayuru Monastery is one of the prime attractions of a journey on the famous Srinagar Leh highway. It is a beautiful monastery that sits on the top of a hillock, overlooking Lamayuru town and offering an astounding view of Lamayuru Moonland.<\/p>\n

The monastery, painted in white, is as pretty from the inside as it is from the outside. Against the brown backdrop of the barren landscape of Ladakh and in complete contrast, it is quite a sight to look at, one that will be hard to miss.<\/p>\n

Once you step in, you are confronted with a sight consisting of beautiful and colorful artwork on its walls and ancient murals. The peaceful environment of the monastery itself in my opinion makes it worth a visit.<\/p>\n

I stayed for a night in Lamayuru recently during my two months long journey to Ladakh and Zanskar. It was the 12th day of our trip and we were scheduled to travel back to Kargil via the Batalik route. To read the previous parts of the travelogue, you can take a look at the links below.<\/p>\n
