About Pangong Tso Lake

Pangong Tso is a breathtakingly beautiful high-altitude saltwater lake situated on the Indo-China border. Famed for its ability to change colors throughout the day, from azure blue to green and even grey, the lake is a spectacle of nature's artistry. It is surrounded by barren, rugged mountains that contrast sharply with the vibrant blue of the water, creating a stunning and surreal landscape. The journey to the lake via the Chang La pass is an adventure in itself. Camping near the lake under a star-studded sky is an unforgettable experience.
