Pangong Lake, in one of the most remote corners of Ladakh, is one of those places that take away all kinds of exclamations . Then, however, it keeps you quiet. Possibly because silence is the way we have to surrender to a place like this. A Dream Bike Trip to Ladakh...https://www.travtasy.com/2018/03/leh-ladakh-trip-by-bike-from-delhi-route.html No one said that remote places are easy to reach. Like dreams. And yet Pangong Lake is closer than it seems. It just needs to be summer. Located on the border with the Tibet Autonomous Region (China), Pangong Lake is only accessible in the summer months and after 6-8 hours of driving on the roads of the Indian Himalayas , from Leh. Although its waters are salty, every winter, the harsh climate of the so-called 'Roof of the World' freezes Lake Pangong. When temperatures rise, it allows you to discover one of the most incredible and inhospitable corners of the planet. A five-hour journey from Leh, the ancient capital of the kingdom of Ladakh, has become one of the favorite pilgrimages of those who have their heart in this area of ​​the planet. This forces to cross the passage of Chang La, at 5,360 meters high, and where it is possible to make a small stop for tea (for which they do not usually charge). It is the third highest step on the planet and the typical Tibetan colored flags are not lacking. Visible from May to September, a special permit is required to access Pangong Lake (foreigners must form a group of at least four people to get it). You can't sail on it, but you can take a dip. Depending on the month in which we travel, it will be possible to still enjoy a lot of snow, which gets a unique effect between the intense blue of the lake water and the completely sparse mountains of vegetation. Spending the night is also possible. However, there will be few amenities. There are no hotels or anything similar here. Yes, however, you can rent a tent in one of the camps near the shore, always on the side of India. It is advisable to do it, anyway, in the 'official' camps, since they can create beautiful bonfires at night. The sunset in Pangong is much more than a wonder of nature. By the way, there is no mobile coverage here and many times there is no bottled water in the camps, so you have to carry some bottles. And yes, be it summer or spring, you should always wear thermal mountain clothing. We are in the Himalayas! ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NI04M16Sdy8
