Pangong Tso is a salt lake in the state of Jammu and Kashmir. Situated in the midst of the Himalayas, the lake lies at the Indo-China border with part of the lake in India and the rest in China. The lake is devoid of any fish and only crustaceans inhabit the lake at present. Pangong Tso is a hotspot for tourists as the region draws several migratory birds every year. These include a variety of gulls, ducks, and geese. There are also a number of interesting animals that has made this region their home. Villages around Pangong reflect the rich Buddhist culture that the people have imbibed over time. This beautiful lake surrounded by picturesque villages is a popular destination for avid trekkers. Also, if you visit the region and want to try your hands (or more like feet) at mountain climbing, there is a mountaineering school that organises classes for climbers.
