Seagull flying over Pangong Tso or Pangong Lake, which is a famous border lake. It is an endorheic lake in the Himalayas.
Most part of the Pangong Lake lies in Tibetan Autonomous Region ï¼ÅChina, with only a small part in Kashmir.
It lies to the north of the Rutog County and extends westward across the border. ââ¬ÅPangongââ¬Â comes from the Indian language, meaning ââ¬Åa patch of meadowââ¬Â. In the Tibetan language, this lake is called ââ¬ÅCuomu Angla Renbo Tsoââ¬Â, which means ââ¬ÅLong-Necked Crane Lakeââ¬Â.

From east to west, the lake is 155 km long, with an average breadth of 2-5 km. The broadest place from north to south is only 15 km. It is formed with 3 narrow lakes linked together. The 593-square-kilometer lake is 4,242 meters above sea level, with the deepest point reaching 57 meters.
The highlight about this lake is that its eastern part inside China is fresh water, while the western part in Kashmir is salt water. Although the fresh water part is crystal clear and the water tastes sweet, there is only sparse vegetation on the bank. On the contrary, the salt water part has reared lush meadows on the bank.
The first glimpse of the tranquil, azure blue water and shaky lakeshore remains deeply in the memory of tourists. You will realize that the undisturbed animals and the undeveloped landscape are the most precious pictures.
