Day 5 we drove to Lamayuru. It was a very beautiful drive. There were also a lot of military bases along the way (due to the proximity to Pakistan). We stopped at the Alchi Monastery, a Tibetan Buddhist monastery, on the way to Lamayouro. It was founded 1000 AD. A lot of the buildings were 11th-13th Century. Once we got to Lamayouro (a pretty small town), we visited the monastery (11th Century). In the evening, we had a home-cooked meal at our guesthouse. 8pm was the typical dinner time.
