Pongong Tso


Situated in Ladakh, this lake lies at a distance of five hours from the city of Leh. The road traverses the third highest pass in the world; the Changla Pass. A special permit is required to visit the lake. For security reasons, no boating is allowed. There is a small hotel and campsite, and houses with primitive guestrooms in the village.
