Ensure that your permit for Pangong Lake is ready prior to departure. • Changla Pass is one of the highest motorable passes globally, situated at roughly 17,590 feet (5,360 meters) in altitude. It is on the journey from Leh to Pangong Lake and ranks as the third-highest motorable road in the world. Named after Saint Changla Baba, this pass serves as a noteworthy experience. The ascent provides dramatic landscape changes, from arid mountains to peaks covered in snow, accompanied by icy winds. At the top, there is a small temple dedicated to Changla Baba, where many travelers pause for a quick prayer and photographs. Despite its rugged landscape and cold winds, Changla delivers spectacular views of the Himalayas, and the drive is a key aspect of the journey to Pangong Lake. Note: Due to the high altitude, it is recommended that travelers limit their time at the pass and maintain hydration. • Pangong Lake is a stunning high-altitude body of water renowned for its varying shades of blue and impressive mountain scenery. Allocate time to explore the lakeside, capture images at the “3 Idiots” point, and enjoy tranquil Himalayan vistas before heading back to Leh. • Return to Leh via the same route and drop-off at your preferred location, such as a hotel or in Leh market.
