Hey Carl. Thanks for checking out the post and taking the time to write a comment on it. I'm glad that you liked the explanations.
Coming to the elevation part, yes apart from Mangan we were above cloud level - so pretty high up. As per Google,
Tsomgo Lake (#1, #2) is at about 12000 ft.
Mangan Waterfalls (#3) is at only 2000ft.
Zero Point (#4,#5) is at whooping 15300ft.
Thanks for reminding me, I will now add these new information to the original post for future readers.

Holy crap! 15,300 feet is really high!!! I have never even been above 10,000 feet and even that felt crazy, the difference in the air is so noticeable. I have always felt personally that mountain lakes are sacred places and I thank you again for sharing your visit :)

Yes the difference in air is quite noticeable. That small hike on the hill at zero point forced me to breath fast.
