Pangong Tso

Reviewed By LataV - Dubai, United Arab Emirates

This is one of the few endorheic basins in India...i.e the water does not naturally flow as a outlet to another water body like a river etc. This is also a salt water lake which lies in India and China and no prize for guessing why it does not have any kind of marine life or flora habituating its waters. In fact a line of control also lies within the lake...While this part of the review takes care of some hard facts pertaining to the lake...now comes the amazing magical part. No visit to Leh can be complete without a visit to this mesmerising lake. The colour of the lake is a reflection of the sky at any point of the day. The water is always calm and peaceful with little gentle waves touching the shores silently. Its so still that you can actually hear your own breath when the man made noise around you comes to a stop. The best way to visit this place is to stay overnight as one then gets to see the lake in its various moods and time....in the afternoon under the blazing day sun, in the evening while the sun is setting , the early morning sun-rise. Each of these bring a different facet of this beautiful water body and should not be missed. There are many camps lining up the Pangong Tso and its worth its while to stay back at one of these.

Reviewed By sheenad206 - Inverness, United Kingdom

I have just bought another silk carpet from Omar via the internet and am delighted with it. I only saw photos of it beforehand and a good written description. It was relatively easy to pay for and it arrived within a week to Scotland so a great service all together. Would definitely recommend. High quality beautiful carpets.

Hemis National Park

Reviewed By dgpdotco - Springwood, Australia

I camped just short of the village of Rumbak in Hemis National Park. Camping in winter there is a great experience as long as you're ready for the cold. Overnight it got down to -25c but the Austrian Army issue down sleeping bags did the trick. We were also fortunate enough to spot 3 snow leopards while here. A mum and 2 cubs attacked a heard of blue sheep. A sight I'll never forget.

Yarab Tso Lake

Reviewed By imprash_p - Mumbai, India

Located almost 15 km from Diskit, near Panamik village, this is a very beautiful and secluded attraction, though I won't say its a must-visit place if you are around Panamik or Nubra and got some extra time, then do make a plan. It's a small lake, with an associated story of a monk (best heard from locals only). We visited during December when the air was freezing cold and also the lake was rock frozen, there was not a single soul expect we four friends, we enjoyed Cup noodles beside the lake, cooked on our Butane Stove.
