Tso Moriri, Leh, Ladakh

Tso Moriri, Leh, Ladakh

Tso Moriri is a high-altitude lake located in the Changthang Plateau (northern plains) in the Rupshu Valley in Leh District of the Union Territory of Ladakh, India. The name Tso Moriri means Mountain Lake. It is one of the three important high-altitude lakes in the Ladakh region. It is the largest of the high-altitude lakes entirely within India and entirely within Ladakh in this Trans-Himalayan biogeographic region. The site is said to represent the only breeding ground outside of China for one of the most endangered cranes, the Black-necked crane (Grus nigricollis), and the only breeding ground for Bar-headed geese in India. The lake was notified in November 2002 under the List of Ramsar Wetland sites under the Ramsar Convention.
