06 Tso Moriri

This oligotrophic water body is amongst the high altitude lakes of Ladakh and one of the most famous places to visit in Ladakh in summer. The prime time to visit this lake is during summer. That is because you would get to see many rare species of birds like the bar-headed geese and black-necked cranes. There are numerous camps found around the lake which attract the tourist crowd. Enjoying the cool breeze in the warm month is yet another pleasing moment that you can enjoy during your trip to Ladakh. There is a forest near the lake which is home to many native wild animals like the Himalayan blue sheep, marmot, and Tibetan gazelle. There are chances to spot a snow leopard and Tibetan wolves if you take a troll into the deep jungle.
