Mahe Bridge
A bridge over the Indus and a checkpoint marking the gateway to the Tso Moriri wetland conservation area from the Leh direction. A permit is required.
Mahe Bridge lies about 25 km south of Chumathang. A military and police checkpoint at the bridgehead registers all vehicles heading to Tso Moriri and checks protected-area permits. Carry several photocopies of your PAP or inner line permit. Beyond the bridge, the road leaves the Indus valley and climbs along a tributary past Sumdo and Kyagar Tso to Korzok, about 2 hours’ drive away. A small tea stall beside the bridge offers a place to rest. Photography of the bridge and checkpoint is prohibited.
