The Salt Valley is a wide open area in the Rupshu region, a valley in southeast Ladakh, India. The valley has a length of about 20 km and a maximum width of about 7 km. Its average elevation is 5,000 m. It can be approached from Leh across the Tanglang La pass.[1][2] [3] [4]

The nearby area from the Polokongka La to Puga village and Sumdo is called the Puga Valley, which also has the hot springs and mud pools. The area south of Sumdo and Kyagar La (also known as the Namshang La) is called the Salt Valley or the Salt Lake Valley as it has salt plains surrounding the salt lakes like Kyagar Tso and Tso Moriri.[5]
