Pangong Tso

Pang-Gong Lake is situated in Ladakh and stretches over India and China, 60% of the lake actually falls in China. After obtaining our Inner Line Permits we headed off in a jeep to check out the lake. It takes 5 hours from Leh over rather dramatic, tough terrain at very high altitude to reach Pangong Lake. Passing as high as the Chngla Pass (17,590 ft) we had a few episodes of altitude induced madness: ordering 10 breakfasts for 6 of us, spotting an "invisible" monastery and giggling a lot for no reason, hopefully due to oxygen starvation to the brain and not the onset of insanity.

Pangong Lake is beautiful and I think the photographs speak for themselves:
