Julley! I’m Stenzin Punchok, welcoming you to Ladakh—land of majestic peaks, serene lakes, and rich culture. Growing up here, I’ve embraced its beauty, traditions, and captivating stories from elders.

Pangong Tso is a high-altitude lake that stretches over 134 kilometers and is shared between India and China. It is an endorheic lake, meaning it does not drain into any external water bodies. The lake is situated at an elevation of 4,225 meters (13,862 feet) and is divided into five sub-lakes. Approximately 50% of the lake lies within Tibet, administered by China, while 40% is in Indian-administered Ladakh, and the remaining 10% is a disputed buffer zone.
The lake is famous for its stunning blue waters and is a popular destination for tourists. It is one of the highest brackish water lakes in the world and is known for its unique ability to change colors throughout the day, ranging from deep blue to turquoise.
Pangong Tso is located about 160 kilometers from Leh, and the drive to the lake offers breathtaking views of the Himalayas. The journey to Pangong Tso takes you through the Chang La pass, one of the highest motorable roads in the world.
