Changthang Jeep Safari and Taj Mahal
Highlights
A
journey from Leh to the village of Korzok, our final destination, on the
shores of Lake Moriri is unlike any other in Ladakh. The Leh – Manali
road first goes over one of the highest passes in the region, over the
awesome Taklang La (5260m). From here we strike off the Manali road east on
a rough track across the basin of the twin lakes, Startsapuk-Tso (fresh
water) and Tso Kar (salt water), then over a roller-coaster track to the
head of Tso Moriri (tso - lake), and on to Korzok, a quarter of the way
along the lake's 20-km long shore. Containing the drainage basin of these
trans-Himalayan lakes, this is a landscape of wide- open, windswept
high-altitude valleys and plains, known as Changthang. Korzok, situated at
15,000 feet (4,572 m) with its dozen or so houses and its gompa appearing
like a mirage among the barren hills, is the only permanent settlement in
Rupshu. The surrounding vast expanse of open space is home to the Chang-pa,
the Tibetan plateau nomadic herdsmen, who converge on Tso Moriri in their
endless cycle of wander in search of fodder for their herds of yaks and
goats..
