It is difficult to express the beauty and vastness of this lake with pictures. No pictures can do justice to this. I feel like going there again and again every time I see pictures of this high altitude Himalayan lake. Pangong Tso, a massive (604 square km) high altitude (4,225 m or 13,862 ft) salt water lake with turquois blue water surrounded by mountains. Feels like a painting of dream.
These lakes are one of the proof that Himalaya actually came from the Tethys Sea. That is the reason why most of the lakes in this region are really ancient and are massive salt water bodies. The remaining of the Tethys Sea where the sea water was trapped during the uprising of Himalayas something like 200 million years ago. That is why these are very different of the other glacial lakes of Himalayas.
I believe I didn't do justice to the natural beauty of this location in my photographs. I should have spend more time there. Should have done more sunset and sunrise photographs. But this was one of my favorite images from the Pangong Tso. In this image I can see all the different colors of the lake, a bit of scattered cloud is always nice. This place being very dry; the sky is always clear and bright with no pollution and humidity to make it look pale.
I should have done some MilkyWay here. I also marked some of the sunrise locations. Maybe next time. :)
Stay safe, comply with the authority strictly, stay at home, stop the chain of the virus.
Take care and help the society to recover from the crisis.
Have a nice weekend.
Hope you will enjoy the picture.
Any suggestions or criticisms are always welcome.
