The name "Moonland" is refereed to a magnificent landscape believed to be liked the surface of the moon which was naturally formed. The Moonland at Lamayuru has become a must-stop place for anyone who travel along Srinagar - Leh pass. To view this picturesque landscape visitors' vehicles stop at the highest point.
