Pangong Tso Under Clear Blue Skies

We reached the beautiful blue saltwater lake at 12:30 PM after a five and half hour drive. The sky was blue, with strands of high clouds. As we turned south along the banks of the lake I saw beautiful lenticular cloud formation along the high peaks. A third of the lake, about 34 Kms, lies within India and the rest of the 100 Kms is in China/Tibet. The distant peaks in China can be seen as one looks south east towards the border. The first week of December saw unusually warm weather in Ladakh so we could see the edges of the lake beginning to freeze but not much else. But the ice was thick where it had frozen and we were told that the entire 134 Km length of the lake (a mere 5 KM at its widest point) freezes by January, and gets thick enough for vehicles to drive over.
Wishing every Indian a Happy Republic Day!
