Why you should not miss Tso Moriri on your trip to Ladakh !!
One of the major attractions of Ladakh, the Pangong Lake, made to every person's list be it a solo traveler or traveling with family. But the recent past has brought a lot of change to the lake, to its secluded atmosphere. Numerous cafe’s and homestays have deteriorated the beauty of the Pangong to a certain level. And that’s what makes people look out for other options, options that are more offbeat, more untouched.
To answer this call of humans for an adrenaline rush, nature paved a new path to the Tso Moriri Lake. It is said that the journeys are more memorable than the destination itself but a visit to Tso Moriri will prove this wrong. The adventurous, picturesque trail to the Tso Moriri Lake will be an experience in itself but the memories would be incomplete without the mesmerizing beauty of the lake.
Why Tso Moriri? Well, the forthcoming lines will introduce to the Tso Moriri and all it has to host a gamut of travelers from adventurers and peace seekers to photographers and nature lovers.
For a thrill seeker
Visiting Tso Moriri can be made possible via three routes viz. Leh, Pangong, and Manali. Though the Leh – Tso route via Chumathang is most preferable but for those heading towards Leh via Manali can take a short diversion and cover it first. Being at an altitude higher than Pangong Tso, the journey offers much more thrill and at par panoramic views. Throughout the journey, you come across varied landscapes and somewhere midway the Indus River will join to make the tripping more scenic. As you approach Tso Moriri the journey turns into a paradise for off-roaders as you make your way out through the sandy and drift trails littered with stones. It is a numinous feeling traversing through the fearful yet fascinating routes to reach one of the most quaint, most serene high altitude lakes.

A place where you can spend hours with yourself and do nothing but just witness the changing moods of the lake. Suddenly a cool breeze swiftly caresses your hairs. Tso Moriri is all this but at an escalated level. The lake changes its shades throughout the day and looks best on a calm day when the desolate brown peaks reflect in the blue lake. Sitting by the lake would take you away in a world of your own thoughts and you won’t even know as the time passes.
