Yashas Travelogue #3 : World's Highest Salt water lake - Exploring the beauty of Pangong Tso Lake ( Photos Inside)
At 4350 meters Pangong Tso is a wonder of nature, I was living a dream of many who intend to visit this lake once in a life time.
Situated at a distance of 140kms from Leh Pangong Tso is one of most popular destinations to visit, length of the lake is 162kms and 70% of the lake is in China while the rest is in India. Since it forms the border line between Indian and China, riding to Pangong Tso need some special permission form the government of India.
Crossing the world's third's highest motorable road enroute
Route to Pangong Tso is a visual treat, we cross the mighty Himalayan pass of Chang La at 17586ft and then a sandy stretch of road to make the ride more adventurous. The temperature drops and it tends to get too cold to ride.
The beauty of Pangong Tso
I had a fall while I was riding due to boulders on the under construction highway, I broke my arm and yet I was alone. I had to ride on to reach Pangong Tso. I was in pain and then pain vanished once I saw the beautiful Pangong Tso in all its glory.
The blue stretch of water kept changing its shades, I stood there still... Without even moving a inch all conquered by the beauty of this lake. Let the pictures take it up from here.
What are you waiting for... come visit this lake and live your dream!!!

Wow that is a gorgeous lake! I got to see Australia's largest salt water lake, Lake Eyre but it was dry when we were there and it looked incredible even dry. I cannot imagine having to ride with a broken arm. But that's part of the "adventure" of travel, right? You live to tell the tale. Upped and following.
@sassysandyg - Yes exactly, such things make u more capable of taking on the challenges. I have had the experience of lifetime, that matters more. The beauty of nature overtakes all kinds of other pain.
