Pangong Tso or Pangong Lake is situated at an elevation of 4,225 m (13,862 ft). Approximately 50% of the length of the lake lies within Tibet in China, 40% in Ladakh, India and the remaining 10% is disputed and is a de-facto buffer zone between India and China. During winter the lake freezes completely, despite being saline water. Wikipedia
At an altitude of around 16,500 ft, Yaye Tso is an isolated lake, which is rarely visited, in Ladakh Himalayas, India
Shunga-tser Tso, which was previously a grassland was formed by a massive earthquake in this region resulting in the formation of the Lake.
The remains of the earthquake can be seen in the number of dead trees within the Lake, which gives the Shunga-tser its unique character.
The lake with picturesque snow-capped mountains & pine trees all around is a sight which is sure to be etched in one's memory for life.
Sangetsar Tso Lake near Tawang in Arunachal Pradesh.Located at around 12000 feet above sea level close to the China border, this lake is considered holy by Buddhists.Apparently this area was earlier a pine forest and the lake was located some distance away.Then an earthquake and the resulting tectonic plate shift caused the lake to move here and submerge the pine woods.The dead tree trunks that stand like eerie sentinels in the middle of this picturesque lake are remnants of the those woods.The place looks like a scene from some beautiful dream.As I stood by the edge of this lake with prayer flags fluttering above me and tiny bells put up by Buddhist pilgrims tinkling in the distance I felt as if I had been transported to some place in paradise.It was a sublime experience.
A song sequence from the Bollywood movie Koyla(1997) starring Madhuri Dixit and Shah Rukh Khan was shot here and therefore the lake is also known as Madhuri lake.

Tso Kar is a high-altitude saltwater lake in Ladakh. The lake and the plains surrounding it are abundant with animal and bird life.
TSO KAR is a salt lake in the southern part of Ladakh (Himalayas), 160km south of Leh, at an altitude of 4,530m.
The mountains surrounding the lake reach 6,000m.
Until a few years ago the lake was an important source of salt, which the Changpa nomads used to export to Tibet.
The climate here is harsh. In winter, temperatures below -40 °C are not uncommon. In summer the temperature rises above 30 °C, with extreme fluctuations during the day. Precipitation in the form of either rain or snow is extremely rare.
An unforgettable journey.

The Sangestar Tso Lake is located on the way from Tawang to Bum La Pass in Tawang district of Arunachal Pradesh, near Indo-China border above 16,500 ft above sea level.
It is located 17 km away from maddening crowd of township of Tawang, is an ideal picnic spot. The calm water, silently moving clouds, earth with its wetness, chirping of birds and warmth is all that one gets while visiting Pankang Teng Tso Lake. The lake is well maintained by the Indian Army and offers a soothing and tranquil atmosphere to its visitors. The lake remains frozen in winter and is ideal to visit only in summers. During winter, the lake provides an ideal spot for skiing. The path towards the lake is laden by bright rhododendron flowers that add to the exquisiteness of the place. One can also find colourful birds on the lake side and engage in wonderful nature photography.
Its the road where I stood and took this shot. No approach roads, high in Himalayas, an absolute treat to watch this remote region of the Changpa tribe.
