Pangong Lake, Ladakh

A lake is the most beautiful and expressive feature of a landscape. It is the eye of the Earth; the beholder measures the depth of his own nature. Pangong Lake in Kashmir, 14,256 feet above sea level, is the highest Brackish lake in the world. Despite saline water, the lake completely freezes in winter. The Briny or Brackish lake does not support vegetation or aquatic life with the exception of some small crustacés. There are, however, many water birds. The lake serves as a major breeding ground for a wide range of migratory birds such as Brahmani Ducks, rare black necked cranes and Seagulls. The lake appeals to everyone with its shimmering beauty. In short, we can say that Lake Pangong is ” Turquoise Blue Paradise.”
