Pangong Lake
Pangong Lake, or Pangong Tso, is one of Ladakh’s most iconic and mesmerizing natural wonders, situated at an altitude of 14,270 feet. Stretching over 134 kilometers, this high-altitude lake extends from India to Tibet, with its waters displaying breathtaking shades of blue that shift with the sunlight, from deep azure to light turquoise.
Surrounded by rugged mountains and stark landscapes, Pangong Lake’s surreal beauty is a tranquil contrast to Ladakh’s rugged terrain, making it a must-visit destination. Known for its crystal-clear, saline waters and its serenity, the lake freezes entirely in winter, despite being saltwater. Its unmatched beauty and remote setting make it a favored spot for photographers, nature lovers, and adventurers alike.
