above sea level. Tso Moriri is approximately 29 kilometers long and up to 8
kilometers wide. Tso Moriri attracts a range of wildlife, including migratory
birds, marmots and rarely the Tibetan wolves.

Territory. This beautiful blue pallet lake is about 7 KM wide at its broadest
point and about 19 KM long. Being part of the wetland reserve under Ramsar
site, it is actual known as Tsomoriri Wetland Conservation Reserve and one
cannot pitch any tents or construct anything near the banks of the lake. It is
the highest Ramsar site in the world. A large number of flora and fauna is found
in the region. Since, it is very near to the Line of Actual Control, one need
to get Inner Line Permit to visit Tso Moriri.
The beautiful multi shades of blue color offered by this lake along with
a picturesque landscape around gives this place an extremely romantic feel and
breathtaking feel. However, in actual reality the place is extremely harsh and
difficult to survive especially in winters. There is only one cemented
accommodation available around the lake and the facilities like electricity, medical
aid, hot running water, western toilets etc. are rare to find. The lack of
oxygen makes survival difficult if your body is not properly acclimatized to
its high altitude and hence, one need to plan his/her journey extremely
carefully to make it acute mountain sickness free vacation.
In January to March, Tso Moriri remains mostly frozen, extremely cold
conditions with no options to stay around the lake. In April types, it starts
to melt and starts transforming into the beautiful multi shades of blue colors
off the shores. Then May, June, July and August is the peak tourist season but
as compared to Pangong Tso it gets less number of tourist.
