Synopsis

Pangong Tso or Pangong Lake, situated at a height of almost 4,225m, is the world's highest saltwater lake. Its water, which seems to be dyed blue, stands in stark contrast to the arid mountains surrounding it. Extending to almost 160km long, one-third of the Pangong Lake lies in India and the other two-thirds in China.
