Camping

Camping at Pangong Lake is one of the most unforgettable experiences in Ladakh. Sitting at an altitude of over 4,200 metres, the lake stretches across India and Tibet, changing colours throughout the day from turquoise to deep blue.

As evening falls, the crowds disappear and the landscape transforms into complete silence. Watching the Milky Way above the Himalayas while sitting beside the lake is a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Wake up before sunrise to see the first rays of sunlight illuminate the surrounding mountains and reflect off the lake’s crystal-clear waters.

Travel Tips

Spend a day acclimatizing in Leh before visiting. Carry warm clothing even during summer. Avoid running due to high altitude. Carry cash as network connectivity is limited. Respect wildlife and keep the lake clean. Book camps in advance during peak season.
