Photo – Pangong Tso – Ladakh India

Continuing my Ladakh Photograph series with another photo. This photo was taken along the south-western bank of the Pangong Tso (pronounced with a silent T – Tso means Lake in Ladakhi). Part of the lake lies in China (Aksai Chin). You will need a inner-line permit (easily obtainable with the help of a local travel agent) to visit. If you are on a budget or are constrained by time you will have to choose between visiting one of the two major lakes in Ladakh – Pangong Tso and Tso moriri. Camping on the shores of Pangong Tso by night is an amazing experience because of the extremely clear skies.

To take this photo I put it my camera very close to the waters of the Pangong Tso to get a better wideangle shot. I have used this extremely well for shooting water-bodies. More technical details about the photo at my photoblog (click on Image Info).
