"Adventure in the Land of the Ancient Gods"
LADAKH : Day 6

I don't know how to start a story of Dorji, he certainly was a dedicated guide in our 8 days in Ladakh.
Dorji was a smart guide with excellent knowledge about Ladakh and its culture. Not only that, he also understand when we wanted to find photo shoot location with timetable we expected.. In fact, we never found any difficulty when going to a dialogue with local people, farmers, monks or nomads in the series of photo shoots that we had planned.

This photo was photographed in front of a bridge that crossed Indus river in the area Himya where the 3 idiots movie scenes was made.

LADAKH : Day 6
The Tsomoriri lake is exquisite and forever embedded in my memory with incredible scenery around, not only surrounded by barren mountains but also delighted by the sight of greenery along the shores. Sometimes wildflowers added a tinge of color to the bleak Tso Moriri.

"Adventure in the Land of the Ancient Gods"
LADAKH : Day 6
After taking some pictures near by our campsite, we continue our morning walk around the shores, trying to catch some different foreground. Tsomoriri is a stunningly beautiful lake with an incredible scenery around, not only surrounded by barren mountains with snow-capped mountain peaks, but also delighted by the sight of greenery along the shores. Sometimes flowers added a tinge of color to the bleak Tso Moriri.
This is the land of endless discovery.

There are a lot of small streams bringing water which flows abundantly from snow melting to the lake of Tsomoriri. This lake is a closed drainage basin that holds water even does not allow any outflow to other bodies of water like rivers or streams. That’s why the lake evaporates very quickly that giving the water a salty taste over the centuries.
Tso-moriri Wetland Conservation Reserve, also known as Tsomoriri or Lake Moriri, is a picturesque lake in the Changthang plateau area of Ladakh situated at an altitude of 4,595 meters (15,075 ft) and nearly 27 kms long. This is the largest of the High Altitude Lakes in the Trans-Himalayan region.

We woke up to a beautiful morning and headed out for a slow walk along the shores of Tso Moriri Lake. Although the weather had grown a bit cloudy during our morning walk but panoramic view was great and undescribable in words, there are a lot of good spots for photography along the shores. Tsomoriri is a high altitude lake of 4,595m (15,075 ft) hemmed in by the elevated valley of Rupshu with snow peaks that provides the source of water for the Lake and it has no shortage of water which flows from the melting glaciers through the summer and feeding its streams and rivers.
