Hello Hive Community.
I hope you all are fine. I am also fine here. In today's post, I have introduced you to Tso Moriri Lake, which is like heaven on earth. Today, I am making another post on Tso Moriri Lake, in which I am presenting to you the amazing beauty of Moriri Lake seen from Karzok View Point through photographs. Tso Moriri is a wonderful lake located in Ladakh and has a long shore. There are three main view points to capture this lake. In this post, I have introduced Karzok View Point to you. Earlier, when I made a post on Tso Moriri Lake, I had introduced Tso Moriri North Point. Apart from that, there is still one point left which is Tso Moriri South Point. Apart from this, the view point that I have told you here is the main view point, there are many other points of interest here. So let me now start today's post.
In my previous post, I had given detailed information about Tso Moriri Lake and how to reach here. So, in today's post, I will not discuss that topic much. In today's post, I will talk to you about Karzok View Point and the wonderful view of nature seen from there. Before that, I will tell you very briefly where Tso Moriri Lake is located. Tso Moriri Lake is located in Changthang district of Ladakh state of India. The specialty of this lake is that this lake is at an altitude of about 15000 feet above sea level and is surrounded by mountain peaks on all sides. Which makes this lake special from other lakes.
Now I will talk to you here about Karzok View Point. Karzok View Point got its name from the village Karzok located here. If we look at this village, it is located at an altitude of about 15,000 feet, which makes Karzok village one of the highest settlements in the world. The people living here mostly raise goats and live a simple lifestyle adapted to the cold desert climate. The Karzok Monastery, which is more than 500 years old, is an important Buddhist center in Aiya. The photographs of this Karzok Monastery are not presented here because it was located near the village. I could not find time to visit it. This Karzok Monastery belongs to the Drukpa dynasty of Tibetan Buddhism. I have given you all this information because I am giving you detailed information about Karzok village and Karzok View Point.
The two photographs presented here above are showing the beautiful peaks of the Tso Moriri Lake and the surrounding mountains seen from Karzok View Point. If you look carefully at the photographs above, you will realize that both the photographs are of the same location. But in the first photograph, the mountains have been captured in a wide frame. While in the second photograph, the mountain peak and the lake have been zoomed in together. I believe that the Karzhok View Point on the banks of Tso Moriri Lake is one of the most peaceful and captivating places in India. This photograph presents the peaks of these mountains and the wonderful view of nature.
From the above two photographs, it can definitely be said that Tso Moriri Lake is a "mountain lake". Because the peaks of the mountains all around the lake and the height of this lake above 15,000 feet are responsible for it. As can be seen in the above photographs, this lake is surrounded by barren mountains. Here you will not find any trees on the mountains. In the background of such mountains, this lake looks magnificent and peaceful. The deep blue water of the lake shines brightly under the sunlight. This glow makes the entire area here beautiful. The shore of this lake is about 30 kilometers long and the width of this lake is about 2 kilometers. Which makes the lake more beautiful.
Above I have presented two photographs with you. In the middle of the first photograph of that pack, we can see a building standing peacefully on the shore of the lake. Behind this building, a huge lake is spread. The dark blue color of this lake is shining beautifully under the clear sky. In the background of this lake, the mountains look dry and rocky. The shape of these mountains adds grandeur to the landscape. The blue color of this lake creates a wonderful contrast with the patch of green grass in its front. The winding road seen on the right side in the same photograph gives a feeling of adventure. As it takes the tourists deeper into this remote and untouched area of Ladakh.
In the above two photographs, the wonderful natural scenery around the lake can be seen. This lake changes its color in different seasons. In the summer season, the meadows around the lake become green and colorful with wildflowers. While the lake turns white with snow in the winter season. The environment here is a boon for wildlife and this area is a haven for various types of birds. Rare birds like the black-necked crane and the bar-headed swan can be seen near this lake. Which makes this lake a paradise for bird watchers while for nature lovers, the natural scenery here makes this place a paradise.
Above I have presented three photographs with you. As can be seen in the first photograph of that pack, the lower slopes of the mountains are dry and barren. These mountain slopes include three colors namely brown, red and gold. Their natural patterns and texture add a unique beauty to the landscape. The snow at the top contrasts beautifully with the dark rocks and sandy slopes below. In the foreground of this photograph, we can see some green patches of grassland near the lake. As I mentioned earlier, people in this area keep sheep and goats for their livelihood. In the summer season, the surrounding areas of the lake turn into grasslands. These green plains become grazing grounds for animals like goats, yaks and sheep.
As can be seen in the photographs above, the area around the Karzhok and Tso Moriri lakes is full of natural beauty. The brown barren mountains are a wonderful contrast to the sparkling blue water. As I have mentioned before, in the summer season, the meadows near the lake become green and colorful with wild flowers. While in winter, the entire area turns white with snow. The green meadows can be seen in the photograph so I have mentioned this again here. The weather here remains cool all year round. And even in summer, the nights can remain cold. Nevertheless, tourists come here to enjoy the beauty of the landscape and the lake. The tourist coming here, Karzhok View Point, offers an opportunity to spend time in a peaceful area away from the crowded tourist spots. One thing I have to say is that watching the sunrise or sunset from here is an unforgettable experience. Because with the changing light, the colors of the mountains and the lake also change.
I believe that Karzok View Point, located on the banks of Tso Moriri Lake, is a hidden gem of Ladakh. This is one such place where one can enjoy the feeling of peace, natural beauty and spirituality. The amazing blue water, majestic mountains, old monasteries and the unique culture of the Changpa people combine to make Karzok one of the most memorable places in the Himalayas. With these few words, I will end my post here.

I sincerely thank you for visiting and reading my post.
