Tags : lakes

Pangong Lake is situated at an altitude of 14,000 ft, 6 to 7 kms at its widest point and over 144 km long. It is bisected by the international border between India and China. Only a third of it lies in India. More than 60% of it lies in China. It is a good 240 km from Leh and the road to Pangong Tso is one of the most scenic routes in Ladakh. Pangong Lake is the home of Chang-Pa, the sturdy gypsies who spend their summers on its northern shore with their flock of pashmina goats. Pangong Tso is an endorheic lake in the Himalayas. During winter, the lake freezes completely, despite being saline water. Its beauty lies in the deep blue colour of the water and the varied hues of the mountains surrounding it.
