·      The Pangong Lake: A trail that leads the site visitor into oblivion with the gorgeous vistas of the towns of Shey and Thiksay, as well as turning off the Indus valley via the side valleys of Chemrey and Sakti. The Chang-la (18,000 feet/ 5,475 M) spans the Ladakh range and is open for much of the year unless when there is severe snowfall.

·      Tangse, which is just beyond the foot of the pass, is fortunate to have an ancient holy site. Tangse, located simply past the foot of the pass, happily has an old holy place.
