Practical information about Lac Tso Moriri
Reviews of Lac Tso Moriri
Lake Tso Moriri is located in the Indus Valley, to the south east of Leh at the border with Tibet. Its turquoise colour draws in travellers.
My suggestion:
For Tso Moriri as for Pangong Tso, also to the east of Leh, tourists need a special permit which can be obtained very quickly through an agency. For Tso Moriri, the permits are checked in Upshi.
Summary:
Fans of lakes are spoilt in Ladakh. Tso Moriri and Pangong Tso have amazing colours. Depending on the time of day, they can be very changeable: blue, green, turquoise. To best appreciate them, I recommend that you stay nearby. In any case it's not conceivable to do the return trip from Leh in one day.
The lake is located in the Indian part of the Tibetan Changtang, a very high plain. On the way you can see mountainous landscapes which are very different to those in the north of Leh (yes, it's possible, Ladakh is hard to predict!). The most interesting thing is to meet the nomads who set up camp beside the lake in the summer.
However, during a trip to India, it's completely pointless to go on a trip to Tso Moriri if you've seen Pangong Tso. You should choose one or the other. Personally I saw both and I preferred Pangong Tso because the journey there seemed more interesting.
