Ladakh
Explore Ladakh's spectacular high-altitude lakes — Pangong Tso (4,350 m; colour-changing marvel), Tso Moriri (4,595 m; remote and pristine with breeding black-necked cranes), Tso Kar (4,525 m; salt lake with flamingos), and Yamdrok-like Hanle area lakes — each offering otherworldly landscapes.
Tso Moriri (230 km from Leh) is less visited than Pangong but equally stunning with better wildlife. Requires Inner Line Permit.
