Pangong Lake
Pangong Lake, a Sacred lake of Buddhist community in Ladakh and one of the best and most viewed and favourite destination of tourists and Bollywood, situated at a height of almost 4,350m, 217 km from Leh city & is the world's highest saltwater lake. Its water, which seems to be dyed in blue, stand in stark contrast to the arid mountains surrounding it. Extending to almost 160km, one-third of the Pangong Lake lies in India and the other two-thirds in China. There are different interpretations of the meanings of both Pangong Tso and Tsomo Nganglha Ringpo. The Ladakh government website says "Pangong Tso" is Tibetan, meaning "high grassland lake". Tsomo Nganglha Ringpo is Tibetan that is interpreted to mean various different but similar meanings -- "long, narrow, enchanted lake" by Chinese media sources, "female narrow very long lake" by early European explorers, and "long-necked swan lake" by other modern sources. One can feel the solace for mind while reaching Pangong –Tso (lake).
