Quick answer

Tso Moriri is a remote, protected high-altitude lake at 4,522 m in Changthang, around 219–240 km from Leh. It's quieter and wilder than Pangong, with the village of Korzok on its shore and nomadic herders nearby. Facilities are basic and nights are freezing; go only well acclimatised and with the right permits.
