Alchi –Day excursion to Lamayuru (± 60 Kms /± 02 Hrs, Oneway )
Today, drive down the Indus Valley to Khalsi before ascending to the village of Lamayuru.. Lamayuru monastery is set in a commanding location high above the Indus River. Founded in the 10th century the monastery is one of the largest and oldest in this region of Ladakh and includes a cave inside the main Assembly Hall that is said to be where the Buddhist sage Naropa meditated. Late in the afternoon we head above the monastery to vantage points that afford the best photographic opportunities before returning to Alchi.
