Pangong Tso


















The NGO with which we were working were very happy with our work and hence decided to send us on a one day trip to Pangong lake. This is the lake where the last scene of the movie 3 idiots was shot.

Pangong Tso is the world's highest brackish lake situated at a height of about 4,350 m (14,270 ft). It is 134 km long (approx.) and extends from India to China. 60% of the length of the lake lies in China. The lake is 5 km (3.1 mi) wide at its broadest point. During winter the lake freezes completely, despite being saline water. We crossed the world's third highest pass, Chang La (5360 m approx above sea level), to reach Pangong lake. Words are not enough to describe the beauty of Pangong Tso !!!
