Lamayuru Tour Packages

Embraced by the rugged Himalayas, Lamayuru is located in the very heart of Ladakh. Due to its terrain resemblance to the surface of the Moon, the region is also referred to as “Moon Land”. With Lamayuru travel packages, guests will embark on a journey to a mystical destination, where time seems to stand still, and every corner tells a story of ancient wisdom and breathtaking beauty.  

The Moonscape of Lamayuru

The most striking feature of Lamayuru is its unique terrain, often described as similar to the moon’s surface. According to a legend, before the monastery was built, Lamayuru's valley was a clear lake where holy serpents (nagas) resided. Bodhisattva Madhyantaka prophesied that the lake would dry up and a monastery would be constructed in its place. So, through the prayers of the scholar-saint Naropa, the vast lake was dried up, leaving behind a dramatic landscape of eroded rock formations and barren hills. With Lamayuru vacation packages, guests will get to experience the moonscape unfold as they traverse the roads from Leh or Kargil. Whether it is a photographer looking to capture the unreal vista or a nature lover trying to soak up serenity, Lamayuru will be nothing short of magical.  

Experience the Best of Lamayuru  

To experience Lamayuru in the best way possible, guests can map out their entire trip with Lamayuru vacation packages. Here are the best places to see and things to do:  

The Lamayuru Monastery 

Located in the faraway land of Ladakh, Lamayuru Monastery is perhaps one of the most intriguing places one can visit. Considered to be one of the largest and oldest monasteries of Ladakh, it is situated at a height of 3,510 metres (11,520 ft) and is located on the extremely scenic Srinagar-Leh highway. The monastery was originally a collection of five large buildings, out of which only one survives now. Even after losing much of its valour, Lamayuru is still one of the oldest and grandest monasteries of Ladakh and houses about 150 permanent Buddhist monks. The prayer hall is the only part of the main monastery that is accessible to the travellers. Just outside the prayer hall, on the edge, and around are the barren mountains and scenes of life going on in the village below. With no one around, the empty monastery and the Lamayuru village below will feel like your own home. 

Lamayuru’s Ladakhi Lifestyle  

Apart from spending some time at the monastery and admiring the moonscape, guests can also enjoy a walk in the village. Ladakhis, with their exuberant smile, are welcoming people, and one can break the ice by simply greeting them, saying “Julley” (Hello in Ladakhi). They can also savour traditional dishes like thukpa (noodle soup), momo, and butter tea. Lamayuru tour packages’ curated village walks will unravel the region’s unpretentious culture and traditional Buddhist practices, establishing a connection with the remote corner of the world.  

The Lamayuru Trek 

Guests can also put their fitness level to the test by going on a trek on these moon-like craters. Veena World’s adventure Lamayuru tour packages will take guests through beautiful rural villages surrounded by green barley fields, apricot trees, and high mountains. Remote villages, where one can experience the lifestyle of the Ladakhi.
