Pangong Tso

Pangong Tso (lake) is one of several high altitude lakes in Ladakh. It is around 4,200mts above sea level and about 150 kms long, though only 4-5 kms wide. The Tibet border cuts across the lake with about 1/3 lying on the India side. The play of light, shadow and colour is a constantly changing dynamic. I stayed a few days around the shore of the lake and was fortunate to see the beauty of the lake in a range of weather conditions most of which provided wonderful 'moods' for making pics.

Beautiful work of capturing this splended and mysterious land. The same for all these galleries.

I recently visited the lake and thereafter we swithched off ou cameras because in my opinion nothing was left to capture in the cameras after seeing the lake and the mighty ChangLa on the way.

Lama Anagarika Govinda gave a lenghty description of the "Blue Lake" - as he called it - and particularly of the colours: Read his book "The Way of the White Clouds" (also in German), London 1966 and later.

I whish to travel there! - Aryaman -
