Tso Moriri

Breathtaking Blues

It is near impossible to imagine Tso Moriri’s grandeur unless you see it with your own eyes. Of all the Indian lakes at a high altitude, this is the largest. It evokes a sense of purity in the viewer no matter the season. The exquisite beauty of the lake is heightened by the stark ring of mountains surrounding it.

Visitors can spot black-necked cranes, bar-headed geese, and snow leopards if they are lucky! Journeying to Tso Moriri is an incredible experience in itself – the ride straddles wild streams and is often dotted with Tibetan asses wandering about.
