Below are the activities we did throughout the day

Tso Kar is located close to the Manali Leh highway. situated at an altitude of approximately 4,500 meters (14,800 feet) Tso Kar is also a perfect place for camping away from the crowd. Manali, Himachal Pradesh is about 285 km away. Tso Kar is counted in offbeat destinations of Ladakh. It is about 150 km from Leh.

Important information is that in Tso kar you will get electricity backup, however there is no mobile connectivity. After Tso kar we took a halt in Debring where we found good connectivity, but electricity was a challenge.

We started our day from our camp, had breakfast & then proceeded towards Jispa enroute to Manali.
