This breathtakingly beautiful lake is Pangong Tso, is a long stretch, with one third areas of the lake lies within our country and the other two third portion lies with Tibet and is controlled by China. A unique feature of the lake is that it does not remain blue throughout the year or even the day, rather it changes colours from azure to light blue to green and grey too! The mirror-calm water is cold, clear, and extremely salty, holding sufficient quantity of lime to form a calcareous deposit, which cements the pebbles together in patches of concrete on its bank. Winter turns the landscape of Pangong into a shimmering and snowy. Pangong Tso freezes to an absolute turquoise, and you can even walk all over this frozen beauty. Bollywood have fallen in love with this place and even the local restaurant, Hotels, camping site also features movie mementos where travelers can pose and get their pictures clicked, for e.g. the eco-friendly yellow scooter or the funny chair from the popular song ‘All is well’.
