Ladakh is a land blessed by nature and the lakes in Ladakh are simply a case in point. There is something very awe-inspiring in the sight of the graceful blue waters reflecting the intensity of the clear skies set against a backdrop of snow-capped mountains and sweeping plains. This is exactly the picture that bursts upon you the first time you set your eyes on a lake in Ladakh, and no matter how many times you see in again, it never ceases to amaze you with its subtle simplicity and unobtrusive beauty. If you are on your tour to Leh, you simply cannot miss visiting the famous lakes in Ladakh. They are an integral part of the landscape and play a very central role in blessing the land with variety and add to its vibrancy. There are dozens of lakes in Ladakh, many of which do not even have documented names. Of these lakes, the Pangong lake and Moriri lake are perhaps the best known and attract hordes of tourists every summer season. And while paying a visit to these popular lakes is an absolute must in Ladakh, you should not confine your lake visits only to the popular lakes.
