LAKES IN LADAKH
Pangong Tso
Pangong Tso is a high‑altitude lake straddling the India‑China border, famed for its shifting colors that move from emerald to deep blue as light changes; it sits around 4,225 meters and offers stark mountain reflections against a wide, saline expanse.
Tso Moriri
Tso Moriri is a quieter, remote freshwater lake in southeastern Ladakh, set at about 4,595 meters; it is surrounded by protected wetlands that support migratory birds and a few nomadic settlements, giving it a more peaceful, wildlife‑rich character.
Kyun Tso
Kyun Tso (also spelled Kyun Tso or Kiagar Tso in some guides) is one of Ladakh’s lesser‑visited alpine lakes, valued for its solitude, clear skies, and dramatic high‑plateau setting that rewards visitors seeking off‑the‑beaten‑path landscapes.
