altitude wetland complex comprising two interconnected lakes larger hypersaline tso kar and smaller freshwater startsapuk tso is a ramsar wetland site in india found at more than 4 500 metres above

inlet stream at its south west end to a small lake startsapuk tso and together they form the 9 km 2 more plains pool which is dominated by the peaks of two mountains thugje 6050 m and gursan 6370 m from the geology of the more plains it can be concluded that the tso kar in historical times ranged up to this high valley until a few years ago the lake was an important source of salt which the changpa nomads used to export to tibet the nomadic settlement of thugje is located 3 km in the north there is a tented camp on the west bank of the lake which provides accommodation for tourists 3 4
