Tso Pangong Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

GOT THE SAME USERNAME OF TL....PL VISIT ME AT vandana2923

I've see there are lot of pictures from Leh-Ladakh on TE. May be this is how I captured the beauty of this place.

I do have travelogue on TrekLens of Leh-Ladakh(Vandana2923).

the Pangong Lake, situated at 14,000 feet (4,267 m). A long narrow basin of inland drainage, hardly six to seven kilometer at its widest point and over 130km long, it is bisected by the international border between India and China.

The placid Pangong Lake is not just a tourists paradise but a geologist?s domain too and if one is to brush up with political history, the place is a melting pot of confusion and for sure it in no fun for the army in the biting cold to take care of the strategic landscape. The long and narrow lake stems in the neighborhood of the famous Chushul mountains. The size of the lake is best inferred from the probable etymology of its name, Pangong, which means extensive concavity.

Hi Vandana and welcome to TE !
Very empty but nice high altitude scenery, it's amazing how strikingkly similar this is to Bolivia !!! I like that you have included the cars in the frame to provide scale and make it look like even wider. I have done a workshop on your photo, which means I have edited it and corrected some points, but I can't post it because you have not allowed workshops on your photo. If you want to see my version you need to edit this photo and select the "allow workshop" option, then let me know I can post the edited version.
Have a nice day,
Jean-Yves
