Tsomoriri Lake and Rumtse trek

Tsomoriri Lake trek is famous for its unique landscape, nomads and the lakes. This area is on the Changthang plateau, a part of western Tibet which can be called Eastern Ladakh.

This region is known as the land of the nomads and while on this trek you will see their traditional lifestyle. The area is also an important wildlife sanctuary, harbouring snow leopards and wild asses, as well as various species of birds, such as the black necked crane. Tsomoriri Lake trek begins at Hemis, one of Ladakh’s most important Buddhist centres.
