While not a city, the human settlement around Tso Moriri is clustered into a few specific zones:
* **Korzok Village:** The primary permanent settlement on the western bank of the lake, home to the Korzok Monastery, stone houses, and the highest permanently cultivated land in the world. * **Peldo Le:** Located at the northern end of the lake, this is the main designated camping ground for tourists and seasonal visitors. * **Nomadic Pastures (Changthang):** Dotted around the lake and adjacent valleys are the seasonal encampments of the Changpa, which move depending on the availability of summer and winter grazing lands.
