Bird Watching

Pangong Lake

Spot the bar-headed goose (the world's highest-flying migratory bird) that breeds on Pangong's shores, along with Brahminy ducks, great crested grebes, black-necked cranes, and several raptor species that hunt along the lakeshore. The lake is a critical stopover on Central Asian migratory flyways.
