Pangong Tso

Destination

Pangong Tso

High-altitude blue lake on the Changthang—colour shifts under wide sky.

Pangong is Ladakh’s legendary lake: cobalt to turquoise under thin air. Day trips are common; overnight stays need altitude awareness and permit timing.

We plan Pangong with buffer days in Leh and respectful lakeshore conduct.
