It's my 9th day of laddakh ride. I was in pangong.
Pangong Lake, situated at a height of almost 4,350m, is the world’s highest saltwater lake. Its water, which seems to be dyed in blue, stand in stark contrast to the arid mountains surrounding it. Extending to almost 160km, one-third of the Pangong Lake lies in India and the other two-thirds in China.
Pangong Lake, one of the most famous lakes in Leh Ladakh, derives its name from the Tibetan word, “Pangong Tso”, which means “high grassland lake”. You could spend hours in contemplation here, and still not have enough of its beauty. Pangong Lake is also known to change colors, appearing blue, green and red at different times.
After spending more than 2hrs at pangong in the morning, started my return journey towards Chang La.
On the route witness the marvelous landscapes & dangerous offroads. Around at 1 p.m., reached Chang La.
Chang La Pass is the third highest motorable mountain pass in the world. It is situated at an unbelievable altitude of 17688 ft. m above sea level and crossing this pass is the ultimate test of the adventurer in you.
Chang La Pass possesses the kind of scenic beauty that is associated with most of the other places in Ladakh. The nomadic tribes staying in this region are collectively known as the Chang-pa.
Crossing the Chang La Pass is in itself extremely thrilling, and tests your adventurous spirit, too. The very first thing to do here is, therefore, to cross this pass! The next thing you can do is to enjoy the breathtaking views all around. Be sure to click enough pictures, you will treasure the memories throughout your lifetime. Just before reaching Chang La Pass, you will pass by the DRDO high-altitude workstation, which has also been mentioned in the Limca Book of World Records for being located at such an unbelievable altitude.
Chang La Pass is beautiful and enticing, no doubt. However, it should not be forgotten that it’s situated at an altitude which can cause several physical inconveniences, especially if one is visiting it the first time. At an altitude of 17688 ft., the air is quite thin and may cause certain problems such as breathlessness, headaches and other complications. Therefore, it’s advisable to stay at the top for not more than 15 to 20 minutes.
