Lamayuru is a small village in the Ladakh region of India. It is also known as the Moonland of Ladakh due to its unique landscape. The entire village is built on a yellow-brown layered land that looks like the surface of the moon. A monastery built in the 11th century stands tall and mighty at the top of the hill overseeing the village. Lamayuru is surrounded by rugged mountains and has a unique charm that is hard to find elsewhere. The history and culture of the village make it an absolute must-visit.
