Lake Kyaghr
This is a small lake situated about 10 km to the north of the Tsomorari Lake. It has a length of about 3 km and a width of 1.5 km, with a maximum depth of 22 m. The water is brackish and is not fit for human consumption. This lake is the halting place for trekkers moving from the Kiangdum camping ground to the Tsomorari Lake.
