Pangong is superlatively beautiful. The blue expanse of water, flanked by barren
mountains creates a spectacular landscape. Sun rays tickle the tranquil water,
making it shimmer and change colors. Listening to tiny waves lapping at the
shore. The feeling is so wonderful that we
just want to remain there for ever. But we have to rush back because, as the day
grows old, the small brooks we crossed on the way might not remain small. A hot
day can make the snow melt more and the brooks could swell up. Crossing them
would become more difficult then.
Pangong Tso lies across the Indo–China border; about 60% of the lake is in China. Naturally, it is a disputed territory. Visiting the area requires permit, to be obtained from the tourist office in Leh.
Chang La claims to be the third highest motorable road in the world, the first and second being Khardung La, on the Leh–Nubra Valley road, and Tanglang La, on the Leh–Manali road, respectively.
Best time : July to September.
Stay: There are many hotels in Leh. Tent accommodation are also available near Pangong Lake.
