 Pangong Lake
Pangong Lake, situated at an altitude of 14,500 ft / 4,267m (145 kms. from Leh) is a long narrow basin of inland drainage, about 6 to 7 kilometers at its widest point, and over 130 kms long, bisected by the international border between India and China. It presents spectacular views of the Chang-chenmo range to the north. Spangmik and a scattering of other tiny villages along the lake's southern shore are the summer homes of a scanty population of nomadic Chang-pa herdsmen. They cultivate sparse crops of barley and peas in summer. But in winter they unfold their yak wool tents called rebo, and take the flocks of sheep and pashmina goats out to the distant pastures.
