Pangong Tso (Tibetan: སྤང་གོང་མཚོ, Wylie: spang gong mtsho; Hindi: पांगोंग त्सो; Chinese: 班公错; pinyin: Bāngōng Cuò), Tibetan for "high grassland lake", also referred to as Pangong Pond, is an endorheic lake in the Himalayas situated at a height of about 4,350 m (14,270 ft). It is 134 km (83 mi) long and expands from Indian to China suppliers. Roughly 60% of the length of the flow depends on China suppliers. The lake is 5 km (3.1 mi) wide at its largest factor. All together it covers 604 km2. During winter the flow gets frozen completely, despite being saline standard water. It is not part of Indus flow sink place and geographically a separate land closed flow sink.[3]
The lake is in the process of being identified under the Ramsar Conference as a wetland of international importance. This will be the first trans-boundary wetland in Southern Japan under the convention.

Pangong Tso is in questioned area. The Type of Real Management passes through the flow. A section of the flow approximately 20 km east from the Type of Real Management is managed by China suppliers but stated by Indian. The southern end of the flow is in Tibet. After the mid-19th century, Pangong Tso was at the southern end of the so-called Brown Range, an early attempt at demarcation between Indian and China suppliers in the Aksai Chin area place.
The Khurnak Citadel can be found on the northern bank of the flow, midway of Pangong Tso.[4] The China has managed the Khurnak Citadel place since 1952.[5][6] Southern is small sized Spanggur Tso lake.
On Oct 20, 1962, Pangong Tso saw military action during the Sino-Indian War, successful for the People's Freedom Military.[7]
Pangong Tso is still a fragile border factor along the Type of Real Management.[8][9] Incursions from the China part are common.[10]
Flora, wildlife and geography[edit]
The brackish water[11] of the flow has very low micro-vegetation. Books report that there are no seafood or other marine life in the flow, except for some little crustaceans. On the other hand, guests see numerous geese and gulls over and on the flow surface. There are some varieties of clean and evergreen herbs that grow in the swamplands around the flow.
The lake acts as an important reproduction ground for a variety of parrots along with several of migratory parrots. During summer, the Bar-headed goose and Brahmini geese are commonly seen here. The place surrounding the flow supports several of varieties of wild animals such as the kiang and the Marmot.
Formerly, Pangong Tso had an outlet to Shyok River, a tributary of Indus River, but it was closed off due to natural damming. Two sources feed the flow from the Native indian part, developing swamplands and swamplands at the sides.[12] String lines above current lake level reveal a 5 m (16 ft) thick layer of mud and laminated sand, indicating the flow has shrunken recently in geological scale.[11] No seafood have been observed in the flow, however in the flow coming from South-eastern part (Cheshul nalla),three striper (Schizopygopsis stoliczkae, Triplophysa stoliczkae and Triplophysa gracilis) have been revealed (Bhat et al, 2011). The low bio-diversity in the flow has been revealed as being due to great salinity and severe environmental conditions (Bhat et al, 2011).
Access
Pangong Tso can be reached in a five-hour drive from Leh, most of it on a difficult and impressive mountain street. The street passes across the towns of Shey and Gya and rotates the Changla successfully pass, where army sentries and a little teahouse welcome guests. Road down from Changla Pass leads through Tangste and other more compact towns, traversing flow known as Pagal Naala or "The Crazy Stream". The amazing lakeside is open during the vacationer season, from May to Sept.
An Inner Range Allow is required to visit the flow as it can be found on the Sino-Indian Type of Real Management. While Native indian people can obtain individual allows, others must have group allows (with a minimum of three persons) associated with an approved guide; the vacationer office in Leh issues the allows for a little fee. For security reasons, Indian does not permit sailing.
