The trip to Pangong Tso was our second drive out from Leh and our first tryst with one of the high altitude passes that is responsible for Ladakh’s moniker. As this was just a day trip and a 4 hour long journey from Leh we started really early in the morning (well not that early but early enough). We were also informed by our driver that earlier we leave better our chances of returning back the same day because of a freak of nature called “Pagal Naala” that is unique to Pangong. Completely mystified but not ready to mess with nature (especially not at 18000 ft) we obliged.
