Located in Changthang region of Ladakh, Pangong Tso Lake is one of the most popular destinations in India nowadays. Once the glimpses of the magical blue hues emerging from this massive lake were showcased in a popular Bollywood movie “3 Idiots”, Pangong Tso Lake is the star attraction of the tourists visiting Leh - Ladakh region in North India. The radiating shades of blue color from Pangong Tso Lake on a sunny day will take your soul away and leave you in a state of awe.

This ocean-like saltwater lake is about 5 KM wide at its broadest point and about 134 KM long. Interestingly, 60% portion of this lake lies in Tibet, China while the remaining lies in the Indian territory. Hence, being so close to Line of Actual Control (LAC), you need an inner line permit to visit this breathtaking places. In winters, Pangong Tso Lake completely freezes but is still worth watching with white bedsheet amidst those barren mountains.

About #PhotoGuides

#PhotoGuides is a travel and photo series initiative by @devilonwheels & @goel.tarun. It is dedicated to introducing some of the amazing places on this earth to everyone on Steemit. Places that make you get out of your couch and wander in this beautiful world. It is a small attempt from my side to share my travel knowledge on Steemit and help promote some of the remotest yet most beautiful places I/we have visited in the Himalayas and elsewhere. I hope you love and plan your trips to these places in time to come. If you have any questions or doubts in planning such a trip, I will be happy to help you here.

Can I participate in #PhotoGuides?

If you know about such amazing places and wish to contribute in this series, I will request you to use this #PhotoGuides tag so that it helps all fellow Steemians to refer such wonderful places of this earth under one tag. Also, if possible, I will request you to share some quick facts about the place you are sharing in above format to keep the travel information simple and concise.

What do I get in return?

Well, I believe, as much as you love to share your travel knowledge and wonderful places you have visited with fellow Steemians, you may feel more motivated if there are some rewards in it, too (and we all do). As of today, we may not have enough Steem Power to hold a contest or reward you with some heavy upvotes for your contributions. However, I do ensure that we will look forward to your post as loyal readers under the #PhotoGuides tag and if it is worth enough, will upvote with whatever little worth of vote we have with my current and future Steem Power 😎😎
