5/10 • Leh - Pangong
We leave early and head east towards the Chinese border. After visiting Thikshey monastery, we start driving up to Chang La pass at 5,300 m (17388.45 ft.). We then ride down on the other side to the 80-mile long Pangong Lake, a natural boundary between India and China. The last 25 miles are a fairy tale, especially when the late afternoon sun gets involved

We then descend along the beautiful Tangtse Stream, which flows into the Shyok River and its beautiful mineral valley.
