Spectacular Water Body Images From Ladakh



Nature has endowed its largesse rather liberally on the Trans-Himalayan region of Ladakh. The barren and rugged hills in various locations are snow covered for six months in the year. The snow melts in summer months to feed its principal rivers -  Indus, Zanskar, Shyok, Suru and others, winding their way through the deep mountain gorges or meandering through beautiful valleys, which are any photographer’s delight. Nature has also not been miserly in giving classic look to it’s brackish (salty) water lakes like Pangong Tso, Tsokar, Thatsang Karu and Tsomoriri. My visit to Ladakh in 2010 and 2012 has resulted in images of water bodies, which I think is a worthwhile posting.
