Pangong Lake

Enjoy the reflections upon the turquoise Pangong lake

Less than a four hour drive from Leh, Pangong lake with its crystal blue waters in addition to the backdrop of stunning mountains is an inspiring sight in itself. While the lake is vast and seems endless, only a third of it is in India with the rest spreading across into China.
