Lake Country

The Changthang plateau is home to three beautiful lakes - Tso Kiagar, Tso Moriri and Tso Kar.
This was the most beautiful place in all of Ladakh. These high lakes are at above 4000m. By the time we reached there in early September, the monsoon arrived. Finally there was snowfall everywhere and it was cold, windy and drizzling.
That didn't stop us from roaming around in the freezing cold slush to see as much of these places as possible. The birding was the best in Moriri and Kar. At Kar I finally got to see the Black-necked Crane.

One Ladakh trip should be dedicated just for Changthang.
