Pangong Tso or Pangong Lake (Urdu: پینگانگ جھیل ; Tibetan: སྤང་གོང་མཚོ ; Hindi: पांगोंग त्सो; Chinese: 班公错) is an endorheic lake in the Himalayas situated at a height of about 4,350 m (14,270 ft). It is 134 km (83 mi) long and extends from India to the Tibetan Autonomous Region, China. Approximately 60% of the length of the lake lies within the Tibetan Autonomous Region. The lake is 5 km (3.1 mi) wide at its broadest point. All together it covers 604 km2. During winter the lake freezes completely, despite being saline water. It is not a part of the Indus river basin area and geographically a separate landlocked river basin.
