The pass cuts through the mountain peak and so it offers an amazing view of Leh and mountains surrounding the valley. Go for a half day excursion in the unbeatable winter snow.
During winter the lake freezes completely, despite being saline water and it’s a sight not to be missed. Pangong Tso is a five-hour drive from Leh, most of it on a rough and dramatic mountain road.
