How do you prepare for the altitude and the cold?

Pangong is higher than Leh, at about 4,350 m, so it comes after your Leh nights, never before. Our hotels in Leh page explains how we plan those first days.

  • Pack warm layers, a windproof jacket, gloves, a hat and good sunglasses: the sun is strong and the wind is cold.
  • Walk slowly, drink water, and skip alcohol on arrival.
  • Carry a torch and a power bank, because power at the camp can be limited.
  • Tell us about any heart, lung or blood-pressure condition before you book, and ask a doctor.

Do you need a permit for Pangong?

Yes. Pangong lies near the border, so Inner Line Permits are required for visitors, and the places you may visit are set by the authorities. We assist with the permits, and our Kashmir and Ladakh permits and ID guide explains what to carry. Rules change, so we confirm them for your dates before you pay.

When do the camps open?

Camps open roughly from June to September, when the passes are clear and the weather allows. They close in the cold months, and the lake freezes in winter. Early and late season nights can drop well below freezing, so ask about heating whatever the month.

How do you book a Pangong stay with TDI?

  1. Send your dates, travellers and the comfort level you want through our contact page or WhatsApp.
  2. We suggest a camp or cottage that fits, share the rate for your dates and say what it covers.
  3. We arrange the permits, confirm heating, meals and toilets, and state the terms before you pay.
  4. We build the stay into a Ladakh plan, with Leh before and Nubra or the return after: see our Ladakh tour packages.
