Lamayaru






Today we departed from panikar towards ladakh.We First went to Tangole village to get snaps of Kun and Nun peaks.Then we started our way back to kargil.we reached kargil at around 4:00.We had about 200 kms to go to Leh and we knew couldnt make it today.So we planned to stop at Lamayaru or Alchi.We continued the journy and arrived at Mulbek (3200 mts) at around 5:10 pm. We took pictures of Maitreya Buddha.After passing settlements of Namikala and Kasikot we managed to reach Fatulla at 7:22 pm.It was snowing at the pass and we took some pictures and started for Lamayaru.we reached lamayaru around 8:00 pm and took shelter in Niranjana guest house which was next door to monatery perched high on hill.Its excellent place and food is great.recommended.From here we got an excellent view of the town.Next morning we visited the lamayaru monastery which is 800 years old.It was peaceful and quite .I felt some divine energy in me when i was there. Great place which should never be missed.The paintings were great and llamas there were kind and guiding us to various parts of monastery..Noteworthy,we were the only visitors at that time.The views from lamayaru monastery was stunning.after excellent breakfast we started out to Leh.
