Tsokar lake

Lake Tsokar, which measures approximately 20 km², is approx. 4,530 m above sea level and 160 km southeast of Leh, in the Rupshu valley. It is located between the Zanskar massif in the southwest and the Ladakh region in the northeast.

Tsokar means something like white lake - because of the salt rock that can be found on the shores of the lake. And accordingly the Tsokar is also called salt lake, because the nomads have extracted salt from it in the past.
