One of the biggest attractions of Ladakh, it is a must-visit place for anyone planning a trip to the region. It is located at a distance of 220 kilometers from Leh and can be easily reached by public transport as well.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Tso Moriri is one of the lesser-visited regions of Ladakh. Things out here do not get as crowded as they do in the case of Pangong Lake. Karzok village is located right next to the lake and the choices of accommodation are also slightly better.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In this post, I will provide a complete travel guide on visiting Tso Moriri Lake from Leh.

It is located in the Ladakhi part of the Changthang Plateau at an altitude of 4,522 m (14,836 ft).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Pangong Tso is bigger in size than Tso Moriri but is divided between India and China. This makes Tso Moriri the largest of the high-altitude lakes entirely within India. The lake is about 26 kilometers in length and 3 to 5 kilometers in width.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It is usually referred to as a freshwater lake which is not completely true. Its water is slightly salty but hard to notice while drinking due to which it is perceived as freshwater.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The lake is fed by water from melting snow and springs and currently has no outlet. It is accessible by road only during summer when both the highways leading to Ladakh are open.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The internal road from Leh to Karzok however remains open throughout the year. So if you were catching a flight to Leh, you can visit Tso Moriri in all 12 months.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Plan_a_Trip_from_Leh_to_Tso_Moriri\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">How to Plan a Trip from Leh to Tso Moriri<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There are several ways that you can include Tso Moriri in your itinerary. You can either plan to travel to the lake directly from Leh and return the next day. Or you can also travel directly between both Pangong Lake and Tso Moriri via the Chushul route.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A third way is to arrive in Karzok from Leh and then continue straight to Manali from there.\u00a0No manner how you chose to reach here though, a night stay in Karzok comes highly recommended.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">You can find accommodation here either in the form of a hotel, guesthouse, homestay, or campsite, details of which are provided further in the article.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Permit_for_Tso_Moriri\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Permit for Tso Moriri\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Tso Moriri is considered a part of the inner line, areas closer to the border. For Indian nationals, an inner line permit is required in order to visit here.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It can either be applied online or obtained in person from the DM office in Leh. Please read <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/ladakh-permit-updates-procedure\/\">How to Get an Inner Liner Permit in Ladakh<\/a><\/strong> for more details.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For foreign nationals, a Protected Area permit has to be procured before they can travel from Leh to Tso Moriri. This permit also can be obtained online or in person but requires the involvement of a registered travel agent. Please read <a href=\"http:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/obtaining-ladakh-protected-area-permit\/\"><strong>How to Obtain a protected area permit for Ladakh<\/strong><\/a> for more details.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/ts-moiriri-1.jpg\" data-rel=\"penci-gallery-image-content\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-40855 size-full\" title=\"tso moriri lake\" src=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/ts-moiriri-1.jpg\" alt=\"tso moriri lake\" width=\"1000\" height=\"665\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/ts-moiriri-1.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/ts-moiriri-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/ts-moiriri-1-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/ts-moiriri-1-585x389.jpg 585w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/ts-moiriri-1-263x175.jpg 263w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Leh_to_Tso_Moriri_Route\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Leh to Tso Moriri Route<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The route to the lake will depend on whether you were traveling directly from Leh, Pangong Lake, or via Tso Kar. I will talk about all three routes in detail further in the article. But for a better understanding, let me first post a map of these routes.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/leh-to-tso-moriri-road-map.jpg\" data-rel=\"penci-gallery-image-content\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-33135 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/leh-to-tso-moriri-road-map.jpg\" alt=\"leh to tso moriri route map\" width=\"800\" height=\"992\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/leh-to-tso-moriri-road-map.jpg 800w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/leh-to-tso-moriri-road-map-242x300.jpg 242w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/leh-to-tso-moriri-road-map-768x952.jpg 768w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/leh-to-tso-moriri-road-map-585x725.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The map below is a comprehensive one and shows every possible road that you can take to reach Tso Moriri from Leh. If you need a map of the entire Ladakh region, you can check out this post <strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/ladakh-road-map-detailed-road-map-ladakh\/\">A Complete Road Map of Entire Ladakh<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_reach_Tso_Moriri_from_Leh\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>How to reach Tso Moriri from Leh<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There are three different routes that you can take to reach Tso Moriri from Leh. The first and shortest route runs through Chumathang Valley.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The second one goes through More plains and will have you cross Tanglang La. On the way, you can also visit Tso Kar while traveling on this route.\u00a0The third and longest route is via Pangong Tso and <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/the-beasts-of-changtang\/\">Changthang Valley<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The common thing about all three routes is that they will all have you exit at Sumdo Village. From there you will travel the last 50 kilometers, most of which is a dirt road, to reach Karzok.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Leh_to_Tso_Moriri_via_Chumathang\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Leh to Tso Moriri via Chumathang<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This is the shortest and the most common route to reach Tso Moriri from Leh.

Travel time can be anywhere between 6 &#8211; 7 hours depending upon your speed and breaks.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If you are traveling by public transport, this is the only route that you can follow. The other two routes that I will mention later do not have public transport services available.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Leh_%E2%80%93_Upshi_%E2%80%93_Chumathang_%E2%80%93_Mahe\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Leh &#8211; Upshi \u2013 Chumathang &#8211; Mahe<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It is highly advised that you start from Leh as early as possible. Take the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/manali-leh-highway-status-latest-updates\/\">Manali \u2013 Leh highway<\/a><\/strong> and continue till you reach Upshi. This should not take you more than an hour and a half at most.\u00a0Take a break at Upshi If you are hungry.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">At Upshi market, you will come across a bifurcation. The road on your right goes towards Manali and the cut on your left is for Mahe. Turn on your left and continue driving to the village of Mahe via Chumathang.\u00a0This road will be pretty hard to miss but ask the locals if you are unsure.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The road will be a mix of good and average. This stretch between Upshi and Chumathang is the most scenic part of this journey. So do take plenty of breaks in between.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">At Chumathang, there is a hot water spring that you can visit. Near the spring itself, there is a guesthouse where you can break the journey if you wish to. There are also a few restaurants in Chumathang if you want to get something to eat.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Also Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/clothes-for-ladakh-trip-pack\/\">Clothes for Leh Ladakh &#8211; What to Pack<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Mahe_%E2%80%93_Sumdo_%E2%80%93_Namashang_La_%E2%80%93_Karzok\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Mahe \u2013 Sumdo &#8211; Namashang La \u2013 Karzok<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There is a check post at Mahe where you need to register yourself. Right next to that check post, there is a bridge. This is the road that you will have to turn on to reach Sumdo. Ask the locals if you are not sure.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Right after Sumdo, the ascent for Namashang La starts. It is not really that steep and the road condition is Ok as well. However a few kilometers after you have crossed Namashang La, the road will be bad and broken.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The first lake you will come across after Namashang La is Kiagar Tso. It is a small lake but no less in beauty when compared to the larger lakes like Pangong and Moriri. In fact, you may even find it more scenic than Moriri itself.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Continue driving straight and 10 km before Karzok you will come across a bifurcation. The dirt track will continue to go straight and you will notice a tarred road going towards your left.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Do not turn on this road as it goes towards Chumur. You may see a few boards reading that the road straight ahead is closed. But keep heading straight on the dirt tracks and it will lead you to Karzok Village.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">See the picture below. You need to go straight from here. Do not turn left. These bikers were standing there confused about which way to go until I arrived and clarified.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/leh-to-tso-moriri.jpg\" data-rel=\"penci-gallery-image-content\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-40856 size-full\" title=\"chumur road\" src=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/leh-to-tso-moriri.jpg\" alt=\"chumur road\" width=\"1000\" height=\"563\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/leh-to-tso-moriri.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/leh-to-tso-moriri-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/leh-to-tso-moriri-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/leh-to-tso-moriri-585x329.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This is the most commonly used route to travel between Leh and Tso Moriri.

The journey will be as mentioned below.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Leh \u2013 Shey \u2013 Karu \u2013 Upshi &#8211; Rumtse \u2013 Tanglang La \u2013 Debring &#8211; Tso Kar \u2013 Polo Kongka La \u2013 Puga \u2013 Sumdo \u2013 Namashang La \u2013 Karzok<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Traveling by this route, the total distance covered will be around 260 kilometers.

However, upon reaching Upshi, continue on the Manali Leh highway towards Rumtse rather than taking the left turn towards Chumathang.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The ascent of <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/tanglang-la\/\">Tanglang La<\/a><\/strong> starts after Rumtse. Once you have crossed the pass, you will arrive at an Army establishment called Debring. This is where More Plains starts.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There are also a few dhabas there and near the Dhabas, you will notice a road going toward your left. Leave the Manali Leh Highway here and turn on this road.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The first lake on this route is Tso Kar which will be approximately 22 km from this diversion. Stop at Tso Kar, have something to eat at the Dhabas near the lake, and click some pictures.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Also Read: <a href=\"http:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/is-ladakh-safe-for-tourists-to-travel\/\">How Safe Ladakh is for Tourists?<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tso_Kar_%E2%80%93_Polo_Kongka_La_%E2%80%93_Sumdo\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Tso Kar \u2013 Polo Kongka La \u2013 Sumdo<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The second lake on this route is Startspuk Tso, a small lake that can easily be missed or confused as Tso Kar itself. The road too will vanish after Tso Kar and you will be traveling on dirt tracks.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">On the way, you will also cross Puga hot water springs, also known as Puga Valley. It is another great spot to take a break. The lush-green scenery around Puga is very charming.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A few kilometers after Startspuk Tso is the ascent for Polo Kongka La. The climb is not very steep and you will barely notice it despite the bad road conditions.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Continue on this road till you reach Sumdo. From Sumdo, take the turn towards Karzok. The journey will be the same as I explained previously in the article for Sumdo to Karzok.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Please note that public transport is not available on this route. You can board the Manali Leh Bus to drop you at Debring but will not find another bus or shared cab for the journey ahead.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/leh-to-tso-moriri-1.jpg\" data-rel=\"penci-gallery-image-content\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-40857 size-full\" title=\"leh to tso moriri\" src=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/leh-to-tso-moriri-1.jpg\" alt=\"leh to tso moriri\" width=\"1000\" height=\"665\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/leh-to-tso-moriri-1.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/leh-to-tso-moriri-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/leh-to-tso-moriri-1-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/leh-to-tso-moriri-1-585x389.jpg 585w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/leh-to-tso-moriri-1-263x175.jpg 263w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Leh_to_Tso_Moriri_via_Pangong_Tso_and_Chushul\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Leh to Tso Moriri via Pangong Tso and Chushul<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The third route that can be taken to reach Tso Moriri is the longest and is ideally a 2-3 day journey. This to not really the route to take if you just want to visit Tso Moriri Lake. Rather, this is the route you follow in the form of an overall itinerary covering Pangong Lake and Tso Moriri both.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">People who want to cover both lakes without having to come back to Leh can follow this route.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Leh &#8211; Sakti &#8211; Chang La &#8211; Tangtse &#8211; Spangmik (Pangong Tso) \u2013 Man \u2013 Merak \u2013 Chushul \u2013 Tsaga La \u2013 Tsaga Village \u2013 Loma \u2013 Nyoma \u2013 Mahe \u2013 Sumdo \u2013 Karzok (Tso Moriri)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Following this route, you first arrive at Pangong Lake via Chang La Pass. This can be completed in about 6-7 hours depending on your speed and breaks. For that day, you will spend the night at Pangong Lake itself.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">On Day 2, take an early start as the journey is very long. You will first travel along Pangong Lake until Chushul. This is a very scenic drive even though it is on a dirt road.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">After Chushul, you will drive until you reach Loma village. From there, turn right and follow the road all the way to Mahe, Sumdo, and Karzok. I have explained this entire route in detail in <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/pangong-tso-to-tso-moriri-travel-guide\/\">Pangong Tso to Moriri Lake Direct Route Guide<\/a> <\/strong>which you can take a look at.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Important_Tips\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Important Tips<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There are a few important things you need to know while traveling on this third route via Pangong. First of all, there are no buses or shared taxis available between Pangong, Chushul, and Tso Moriri.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">You can board a bus from Leh to Pangong but will not find public transport for the journey from there.\u00a0The second is that permits for this route are not issued to foreign nationals, only Indian citizens can be allowed here.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The third is that this is a very remote region and you will hardly come by any other travelers. Roads for most of the part will be really bad.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Most importantly though, depending on the places you covered, a round trip to Leh via this route will easily be around 650 to 700 kilometers.\u00a0 It means that you will have to make serious fuel arrangements as there is no other gas station available once you leave Leh.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Also Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/plan-trip-hanle-ladakh\/\">How to Plan a Trip to Hanle Village<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Including_Hanle\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Including Hanle<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Ideally, the stretch between Pangong Tso to Tso Moriri should be done in two days with a night halt at Hanle. If you want to do this, then after Chushul, you will reach the village of Loma. The road will bifurcate into two at Loma<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">To your left is the road that goes to Hanle and it is 50 km from there. If you went to Hanle, you will have to backtrack 50 km again to Loma and then continue on the road to Nyoma, Mahe, and Sumdo.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This is actually an ideal way to do it to ensure that the journey does not turn out to be too long. But, if you must do it in a single day, please ensure that you leave Pangong Tso as early as possible, possibly by the first light of the day.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/tso-moriri-3.jpg\" data-rel=\"penci-gallery-image-content\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-33146 size-full\" title=\"karzok village\" src=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/tso-moriri-3.jpg\" alt=\"karzok village\" width=\"1000\" height=\"670\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/tso-moriri-3.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/tso-moriri-3-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/tso-moriri-3-768x515.jpg 768w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/tso-moriri-3-585x392.jpg 585w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/tso-moriri-3-263x175.jpg 263w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Leh_to_Tso_Moriri_Bus\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Leh to Tso Moriri Bus<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The bus service between Leh and Tso Moriri is not really that frequent. A bus from Leh for Karzok leaves only 3 times a month, on the 10th, 20th, and 30th, at 6.30 in the morning. The fare per person is Rs. 370.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Leh_to_Tso_Moriri_Shared_Taxi\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Leh to Tso Moriri Shared Taxi<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">However, if this does not match your itinerary, you can easily get a shared taxi from Leh to Tso Moriri. These start from the Leh bus stand every morning and are the most commonly used mode of transport by tourists.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The fare per person is about Rs. 500 &#8211; 600 per person one way (for a drop to the lake). The next day, you can get a shared taxi for Leh from Karzok village.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The bus and the shared taxis travel via the Chumathang route. There is no public transport available for Tso Moriri on the Chushul &#8211; Hanle &#8211; Loma &#8211; Nyoma route.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_to_Stay_at_Tso_Moriri\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Where to Stay at Tso Moriri<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There are several hotels, guest houses, homestays, and campsites in Karzok where you may choose to stay.

You may even pay off a little to the existing campsites to give you a spot.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There is a monastery in Karzok that supposedly also allows tourists to stay. I asked once and they said no but a friend of mine claimed that he was able to get a place in the monastery.

While the road from Leh to Tso Moriri remains open throughout the year, going there in winter or non-tourist months may result in a fight for accommodation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Between June till September, all the hotels and guest houses are fully operational and you will easily find a place to stay within any budget.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The second advantage of these months is that public transport services too are available. So if you are not traveling by your own vehicle, then finding a bus or a shared taxi between June and September is not really that difficult.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In a 1996 survey, it was revealed that Thirty-four species of birds including 14 species of water birds of which 6 are vulnerable species were found around Tso Moriri. So if bird watching or catching pictures of some rare species of birds is on your mind then Tso Moriri is the perfect place to do so.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For this purpose as well, the months between June to September are the best as the lake freezes completely in winter and there are almost no birds to see around it until it melts completely.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/tso-moriri.jpg\" data-rel=\"penci-gallery-image-content\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-33143 size-full\" title=\"brahmi ducks\" src=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/tso-moriri.jpg\" alt=\"brahmi ducks\" width=\"1000\" height=\"670\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/tso-moriri.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/tso-moriri-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/tso-moriri-768x515.jpg 768w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/tso-moriri-585x392.jpg 585w, https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/tso-moriri-263x175.jpg 263w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Leh_to_Tso_Moriri_Road_Conditions\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Leh to Tso Moriri Road Conditions<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">From Leh to Chumathang is a smooth tarred road.

Hence, it is strongly advised that you do not go to Tso Moriri immediately after reaching Leh, or while on your way to Leh from Manali.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It is always best to reach Leh first, then go to Nubra Valley, thus giving your body time to adjust to the high altitude.

But you will be able to make calls and send texts. Surprisingly, the service of BSNL here is very good. We made calls to our homes and the voice was clear with no interruption.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Actually, Airtel, Vodafone, Idea, and Jio do not work anywhere on this route. After we left Leh, we crossed Upshi and turned on the road to Chumathang. Airtel and Jio stopped working somewhere in that area. Vodafone stops working even before that.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">On this route between Upshi and Tso Moriri, Even BSNL does not work. You will get the BSNL network somewhere around Chumathang or near other villages on the way but it will be intermittent.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">You will get the BSNL network in Chumathang and after that, you are off the network completely. When you reach Karzok, that is when you get back on the BSNL network.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For more details on mobile reception in Ladakh, please read <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/mobile-network-in-leh-ladakh\/\">Mobile Phone Services in Leh and Other Areas of Ladakh<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Electricity\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Electricity<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There is no electricity in Karzok at night.

If you came to Tso Moriri directly from Manali, you are bound to suffer from altitude sickness and it will just ruin the fun.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If your situation got worse, there is no medical help available anywhere in the village. The best way is to first reach Leh, get used to the high altitude, arrange your permits, and then return to Tso Moriri.
