Situated in the upper reaches of the Himalayan Mountain range, snuggled amidst barren landscape of Ladakh, the serene Pangong Lake is known for its enchanting alpine beauty. Breath-taking vistas of azure waters of the lake and rocky lakeshore with a stunning backdrop of rugged snow-capped mountains; words fall short to describe the magical beauty of the lake and its surroundings. As you spend few hours in the vicinity of the lake, observe the mystic phenomenon of its pristine waters reflecting multiple hues of blue and green with the changing position of the sun during the day. Often, various migratory birds like seagulls, ducks and cranes can be spotted on the lake side, also making it an ideal site for bird watchers and photographers. The frozen landscape of the lake during winter months offer perfect ambience for tourists to indulge in some real fun of ice skating. To add some more thrill to your trip to the Pangong Lake, nothing can be more exciting than opting for an overnight stay in the tents right next to the lake in the Spangmik Village. Owing to the lake’s close proximity of the Indo-China border, special inner line permits are required from the Indian Army authorities for the foreign nationals to visit the area, however, Indian nationals can just present their photo id proofs at the army check posts.
