Starting from Kargil, Mulbekh comes first and it is located around 45 kilometers east of Kargil. Mulbekh is quite famous because of the Maitreya Buddha statue of 9 meters height along with a 2-stories gompa around it.

From Mulbek to Lamayuru, you will come across a twist on the highway as it winds through two wonderful passes known as Namika La and Fotu La which are situated at a height of 12200 feet and 13479 feet respectively. With a number of adventurous ascents and descents, the passes make a person skip his heartbeats at times. The mountain stretches covering the deep valleys give away a spectacular view of the entire region.

Kargil to Lamayuru is the most happening trip that shows a lot of monasteries, glistening mountains, and very bumpy roads. Lamayuru is 85 kilometers away from Kargil. As you all know, Lamayuru monastery is the biggest attraction in Leh region and if you take a halt at Lamayuru on your trip from Kargil to Leh, it will give you a chance to explore the undeciphered beauty of Lamayuru monastery. After Lamayuru, one needs to cover another 114 kilometers to reach Leh with plenty of attractions that cannot be missed out on. #leh #travel #highway2009 #documentary
