What to expect
Pangong Tso
Embark on a breathtaking full-day journey from Leh to Pangong Lake, one of the most iconic and scenic high-altitude lakes in India. Situated at an altitude of approximately 14,000 feet, Pangong Tso stretches across the India-China border and is renowned for its ever-changing shades of blue and serene beauty. Your day begins with an early morning pickup from your hotel in Leh. Travel in a comfortable private vehicle along the Changla Pass, the third-highest motorable road in the world (17,590 ft). Along the way, marvel at the stark Himalayan landscapes, snow-capped peaks, grazing yaks, and peaceful Ladakhi villages. Once you reach Pangong Lake, you'll have ample time to: Admire the turquoise waters of the lake and its dramatic mountain backdrop Take memorable photos at the famous “3 Idiots” movie shooting spot Enjoy your packed lunch by the lakeside (included or bring your own) Soak in the tranquil atmosphere and relax in nature's lap Back to Leh.
Changla Pass
Changla Pass is one of the highest motorable mountain passes in the world, located at an altitude of approximately 17,590 feet (5,360 meters). It lies on the route from Leh to Pangong Lake and is the third-highest motorable road globally. Named after Saint Changla Baba, the pass is not just a gateway but an experience in itself. As you ascend, you’ll witness dramatic changes in landscape—from barren mountains to snow-covered peaks and icy winds. A small temple dedicated to Changla Baba sits at the top, where many travelers stop for a quick prayer and photo. Despite its rugged terrain and chilly winds, Changla offers unmatched views of the Himalayas, and the drive is a highlight of the Pangong Lake journey. Note: Due to high altitude, travelers are advised to spend limited time at the pass and stay hydrated.
The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
