Pangong Tso Lake Camping

Pangong Tso is a high-altitude endorheic lake extending from India to China. At 4,350 meters, the water is freezing and brackish. It is famous for changing colors from shades of blue to green to red.

The sight of this vast blue water body surrounded by dry, brown mountains is surreal. While camping right on the banks is restricted now, staying in cottages nearby allows you to witness the magical sunrise.

The movie '3 Idiots' made it famous, but its raw beauty is what keeps travelers coming back. It is stark, silent, and mesmerizing.
