Pangong Range Explained

The Pangong Range, approximately 100 km long mountain range along the southern shore of the Pangong Lake in the northern Indian region of Ladakh, runs north of and parallel to the Ladakh Range from Tangtse in northwest to Chushul in southeast. Its highest peak is 6,700 m (22,000 ft), and the northern slopes are heavily glaciated. Changchenmo Range and Pangong Range are sometimes considered easternmost part of the Karakoram Range.[1] At Chushul, where the Pangong Range ends, the Kailash Range runs eastward along the southern bank of Pangong Tso, from centre of Pangong Tso at Lukung to the west to Phursook Bay and Mount Kailash.[2] Main features on pangong range, from northwest to southeast, are: Harong peak, Merag peak, Kangju Kangri peak, and Kongta La pass.
