Tso Kar
The white patches in the foreground is salt. Most of the lake bed has dried up due the the very few rivers that feed this salt-water lake. This has left behind deposits of salt mixed with the clay of the lake bed and many marshy patches that the Tibetan Wild Ass, or Kiang, calls its home. Migratory birds like the Brahmini Duck, flock to this place for breeding during summer inspire of the arid and saline landscape! Only one camp has been set up in Tso Kar to cater to visitors. The lake is at an altitude of 14,000 feet, enough for plenty of oxygen problems.
