Summary
[edit]DescriptionAn oldest settlement...Korzok Monastery (23476665788).jpg |
Korzok Monastery is situated on the northwestern bank of Ladakh's Tso Moriri (lake), one of the highest lakes in the world of its size. The lake covers an area of 120 square kilometres (46 sq mi). The water of the lake is partly brackish and partly sweet. Its depth in the lake is 30 metres (98 ft). The valley formed by the Tso Moriri and other lakes, is known as part of the Rupshu Valley and Plateau. The lake and its surrounding area is a Ramsar designated wetland. Korzok is on the Ladakhi portion of the Changthang plateau amidst snow peaks that are the source of water to the lake. The Rupshu -Changthang area is a unique landscape. The barley fields in the Korzok village vicinity tended by the nomadic Chang-pa herdsmen (apart from the monks staying in the monastery) have been claimed to be the highest cultivated land in the world.The nomadic herdsmen seen here living in tents only, rear herds of goats, cows and yaks. The wildlife seen in the area consists of Himalayan birds, wild ass (Kiang), foxes and marmots.The streams, which rise in the valley, are used for irrigation. Summer temperatures in the area reach a high of 36 °C (97 °F) and a low of 5 °C (41 °F). |
