Lamayuru: known for its monastery, & unique “lunar” landscape with its spectacularly odd geological formations. The gompa consisted originally of five buildings, and some remains of the four corner buildings can still be seen. It is one of the largest and oldest gompas in Ladakh, with a population of around 150 permanent monks’ resident. Being at an elevated location (11500 feet), Monastery gives excellent views of the mountains all around, including the view and feel of Moon land. The monastery is very old and the paintings inside are very beautiful.
Alchi Monastery: It’s the oldest and most revered monastery of this region. These are some of the oldest surviving paintings in Ladakh. The complex also has huge statues of the Buddha and elaborate wood carvings and art-work comparable to the baroque style. Shakti Maira has vividly explained the beauty of this small monastery.
