It is the highest lake in Ladakh situated at the altitude of 4300 mtrs. The
lake is surrounded by giant peaks that are well over 6400 mtrs. Pangong is situated
160 kms. from Leh. The drive begins with Thiksey village famous for its huge
monasteries covering an entire mountain ridge. Beyond this remote village there
is nothing but the extreme mountain ridge. Pangong Tso is 150 kms. long and
only 4 kms. at its widest. Only the quarter of the lake is in India and the
rest is in Tibet.
The area around the lake is of historical significance which has got small gompa
and rock inscriptions believed to be 1000 years old. It also is a great place
for photography and one can get to shoot the black necked Siberian crane around
the Mahe marshes, which are the breeding ground for these migratory birds.
