Pangong Tso is a 134 km-long endorheic lake straddling the India-China border at an altitude of 4,350 meters — the highest saltwater lake in Asia. Its fame lies in its impossible, ever-changing colors: the lake shifts through seven shades of blue, turquoise, green, and purple depending on the light and time of day. Set against a backdrop of barren, chocolate-brown mountains under a cobalt sky, the visual contrast is staggering. Made famous by the Bollywood film '3 Idiots,' Pangong has become Ladakh's most visited attraction. The 5-hour drive from Leh via Chang La (the world's third-highest motorable pass at 5,360m) is itself an unforgettable journey through moonlike landscapes.
What makes this place special
The lake changes through seven distinct shades — from deep blue to turquoise to green to purple — throughout the day, creating a surreal, almost digital-looking landscape.

The filming location of the final scene of '3 Idiots' (Rancho's school), where the yellow chair at the lake's edge has become one of India's most iconic photo spots.
The journey to Pangong crosses Chang La (5,360m), the world's third-highest motorable pass, through landscapes that shift from green valleys to snow fields to stark moonscapes.
