Got up at 5 am had tea and left to Pangong Lake by cab. Ali was the driver and xylo was the car.
Left at 6am and then on the way had breakfast at Karu and reached the Lake at 11am.

Then went for a walk on the banks of the lake.

This is the biggest salt water lake in Asia which is 7 kms wide and 130 kms long. One third of this lake is in india and the rest lies in China.

Took lot of pictures of the lake which throws out various shades of blue. This is where the last scene of the 3 idiots was shot.

Then had lunch there and left at about 1:30pm and reached Leh by about 6pm.

Then went out shopping with Brian and Payal and bought couple of more tshirts and gloves.

Then all 3 of us had dinner at Tibetian Kitchen and had Thupka, momos and sabske.

Returned to the Thongsal by 10pm and slept.
