This is one of the few endorheic basins in India...i.e the water does not naturally flow as a outlet to another water body like a river etc. This is also a salt water lake which lies in India and China and no prize for guessing why it does not have any kind of marine life or flora habituating its waters. In fact a line of control also lies within the lake...While this part of the review takes care of some hard facts pertaining to the lake...now comes the amazing magical part. No visit to Leh can be complete without a visit to this mesmerising lake. The colour of the lake is a reflection of the sky at any point of the day. The water is always calm and peaceful with little gentle waves touching the shores silently. Its so still that you can actually hear your own breath when the man made noise around you comes to a stop. The best way to visit this place is to stay overnight as one then gets to see the lake in its various moods and time....in the afternoon under the blazing day sun, in the evening while the sun is setting , the early morning sun-rise. Each of these bring a different facet of this beautiful water body and should not be missed. There are many camps lining up the Pangong Tso and its worth its while to stay back at one of these.

It is a 5 to 6 hrs journey from Leh. You have to cross a Himalayan range spreading NW ro SE to reach the valley which is guarded by Karakoram range on the north. The journey is breathtaking and the road is mostly good excepting at the high altitude, where frequent snowfall and the water from these frozen ice mass damage the road. The highest point is Khardung La at 18000+ ft. This is the Highest motorable road in the world.The valley itself is a creation by the God. The barren landscape of cold desert will sure be implanted in you forever. They have excellent camps around. There are some activities like camel ride, ATV ride Kayaking etc within near vicinity. A must see for travelers from any part of the world and of any age. Only word of caution is the lack of oxygen at Khardung La Pass. They have emergency medical centre at that point to help you with oxygen cylinders.

One can go to the confluence point of the Indus and Zanskar rivers on a day trip visiting all the sightseeing points in and around Leh. The most amazing pat of this confluence is the two distinctive shades of blue converging together.The views are best seen as you travel to this point from Leh on the NH1. This is suppose to be one of the highest altitude river rafting points. So if you are visiting during the month of june july you can give it a shot. There is also a small canteen near the entrance. One can enjoy the marvelous views sitting near the stairs that lead down to the sangam point while sipping your hot coffee.
