The main attractions of this area are the Bactarian Camels (Double Humped Camels), Khardung-La Pass (world's highest motorable road at 18,380 feet) and the monasteries like Samstaling.

TSOMORIRI & TSOKAR LAKES

Tsomoriri & Tsokar Jeep Safari

The safari to these two lakes in the Rupshu Valley is something, which has to be experienced to believe. Nomadic people known as Changpas inhabit a large area to the southeast of Leh. The altitude of the valley varies between 4000 and 5000 meters. The climate is extremely cold and dry.
Brackish Tsomoriri lake is surrounded by snow-topped barren mountains. This unique habitant attracts many migratory water birds including brahminy ducks and black-neck cranes and the rare barheaded geese.

Tsokar is a salt lake surrounded by white heaps of saline deposits in a vast dusty bowl surrounded by barren mountains. There is a freshwater lake to the south-east of Tsokar called STARTSAPUK Tso and herds of Kiang (Tibetan wild ass) often graze on the plain nearby.

The tour can be finished in three to four days. Overnight camping is in tent. Permit is needed to this area, which is issued by the Deputy Commissioner at Leh.
