Lamayuru Monastery 3,714m

Buddhistic monastery Lamayuru is situated lonesome in the Indian Himalayas in Ladakh. The spectacular circuit around the monastery starts and finishes in a valley of Indus river. The road to the monastery has some 13km and the summit is being reached after approx. 17km. Afterwards follows a downhill ride on a newly paved road with several serpentines in gorgeous scenery!

Start: Langru 3,120m
Altitude difference: 642m
Distance to summit: 17km
July 2008


Even at the end of the world German/Swiss travellers naturally drive accurately in a clear row on the correct side of the road (left-hand traffic in India).
On this occasion - warm regards to Claudia, Cornelia, Hanny, Christian, Mathias, Patric, Klemens, Gregor, Jörg, Harry, Elias, Giorgio and Martin!
