If you come to Ladakh, you must go to Tso Moriri!
Tso Moriri Lake is the border point of India and China border, to enter this area, foreign tourists must have a travel document. I don't know where this form is, but when we contacted the agency to rent a car, they made it for the whole group. The rental price is 19000 Rp for the journey to and from 4 days 2 nights.
With the plan to reach Tso Moriri lake in the afternoon to watch the sunset, the whole group left early in the morning, 7 am to go to the market to buy more water, snacks, and rented an extra oxygen tank to fight. with the upcoming 4595m altitude.

The driver is about 45 years old, his face is very dry, always watching his eyes every time he gets off the bus, maybe he is afraid of us getting lost, he speaks very little English but he often smiles, gentle smile like all all the people of Ladakh.Some others choose to conquer this road by motorbike. Looking from the glass window of the car was really jealous, I promised to come back next time to try to feel the hair flying blindly, the wind against my face, and my chest open to inhale the smell of Himalayan soil from outside.The first impression will be Mountain. The small, high and high peaks overlap the layers of layers without any stops. Colors fall from black, brown to earth, to yellow, light blue and then purple.
The whole scene of the road, sometimes a little rough but generally easy to go, the scenery on the two sides of the road changes constantly.
At the end of the journey, Leh - Tso Moriri after 8 hours of driving, it was colder in the afternoon, the air was thinner, but nature was offset by vast clouds of mountains, with the greenness of the lake, the lane. thin smoke spread from the kitchens, by the sound of piles of dozens of cattle on the way to the barn ... everything was so peaceful!
