Khardung La Pass
Khardung La is a mountain pass in Ladakh, Jammu and Kashmir, India. It has an elevation of 5,359 metres (17,582 ft). The pass itself is along a closed military border that divides Leh district from Nubra Valley (which lies in both India and Pakistan). This pass was opened for public use on 1st June 2018 after remaining closed for 44 years. This became possible after various high level talks between Indian and Pakistani governments during 2017-2018 resulted in opening of border areas near Chenab river to civilians on both sides of LOC. It takes four hours to climb to Khardung La top from Leh and it offers magnificent views of Kargil town as well as surroundings ranges.
Pangong Lake
The blue waters of Pangong Lake, in Leh, form a stunning contrast to its surrounding mountains and make it a must-visit place on any trip to Leh. From end-June till mid-September, when it is hot enough for a swim but cold enough to keep you shivering at night, hundreds of tourists visit Leh every day. What they don’t know is that there is much more to do than just hiking around mountain ranges; they also need to enjoy their stay by spending time by one of Pangong Lake’s pristine beaches. It’s not only kids who love splashing in the water and getting sand between their toes here – even grown-ups can spend hours chasing fish or building castles.
