The lake is mesmerizing and its beauty simply takes your breath away. I really have no words to describe it. So I will just leave you with a few pictures.
Frankly I don't think they do justice to the beauty of the lake but I have tried !
The Lake is supposed to change color almost every hour depending on how the rays of the sun fall on it.
Can you see the different shades of Blue and green in these pics !
I also loved the play of shadow and reflections caused by the sun.
A single cloud in an untarnished bright blue sky !
I liked the way the sun lit up these mountains !
we walked along the lake for over 2 hours, mostly in silence, lost for words and totally in awe of the incomparable beauty around us.
Pangong is a remote area.The only way to communicate with the outside world is through a satellite phone at the army camp nearby. Not many people want to spend the night there, But we did and it turned out to be one unforgettable night!
We were far far away from humanity and we could almost hear the silence.
At night the stars seemed so bright and so close to us that we felt we could almost touch them.

In the morning we were rewarded with one of the most glorious sunrises I have ever seen !
I'm just dropping by with A-Z. Beautiful photos! I'm Canadian - loved your Canada Chronicles.

Your words compliment the pictures so well. I never left Ladakh ever since you decided to take me there. Now my fascination to the place increases with your every post. JK government should pay you royalty for promoting their tourism! :-)

It looks like a large, sheer mirror! I can well imagine that the pictures may not do it justice! Did you camp out there?
ReplyDeleteI saw this lake in the movie, THree Idiots, but I had no idea that it was called Pangong. The cinematographer of the film did complete justice to its beauty. And you have done likewise. I liked the fact that you walked by the lake in silence.
ReplyDeleteOh the sheer beauty of it! No words.
ReplyDeleteSuch a terrific photographer you are. Loved all the pictures.
ReplyDeleteAmazing, spending a night so close to nature. Beautiful shots.
