Tso Moriri is a spectacular site amidst mountain ranges in Leh and thanks to its serenity, is a good place to relax. Located in a one of the most beautiful places in India, the lake measures about 28 km in length from north to south and about 4-6 km in breadth and about 100 feet average in depth. Maximum depth of Tso Moriri Lake is 248 feet. Tso Moriri Lake is surrounded by barren hills, with the backdrop of beautiful snow-covered mountains.
The water is crystal clear and of a deep blue color. However, since the Tso Moriri Lake has no outlet, its waters are consequently brackish, although not very detectable to the taste. In fact, the Tso Moriri Lake was once a popular source of salt. (Source)
This tranquil lake is nestled in the midst of peaks towering over a height of 20,000 feet, completely shutting the lake from the outside world, hence called "the mountain lake".
Though this lake is the least visited than the other lakes, though not popular as Pangong Tso, though I didn't get the best pictures, to the human eye, this lake is breathtaking beauty. Lake together with inhabitants and the vegetation makes it complete.
