​Pangong Lake

Heaven, Peace, Silence, and Tranquility at one place? Come and spend a few hours at Pangong Lake! A pristine place in Ladakh marked by subtle to high peaks around, crystal blue waters, and the vast expansion catches the eye so much, so long as if magic is happening right in front of the eyes.

Pangong Lake, also known as Pangong Tso, lies calmly at a breathtaking elevation of 14,270 feet. Interestingly, the lake is 12 km long and marks itself between the laps of India and China. Rather, 60% of the portion is stretching in the neighboring nation and this excites every traveler to be here.

The surreal clean blue waters are brackish or salty and this feature doesn't let any aquatic life survive in the same. Moreover, the temperature range between -30 to -10 degrees makes even this salty lake freeze with thick ice sheets, which is quite opposite in the case of salt-ridden water bodies.

This picturesque landscape location enhances its beauty with the arrival of migrating birds every year and attracts many travelers in search of adventure, photographs, bird-watching, and chilling experiences. Pangong has another unique and catchy feature; when it acts as a chameleon and changes its color from blue to green to even grey at times.
