Day 9 – Hunder to Pangong Lake (130 Kms)
A fresh new day started at 8:30am. Today I was heading towards Pangong Lake via Shyok valley, covering Agam village, Shyok, Durbuk and Tangtse villages. I’ve experienced the real beauty of Nubra Valley in morning but It was not at all a smooth ride today. I rode 4 hours continuously to reach my first halt and reached Agam village by 12:30pm. Here I took a 45 mins Maggi break at the military cafe.
After that I continued my ride on this ultimate off-roading route and reached Shyok village around 2:30pm. Here I took a small tea break for 20 mins.
Then I moved to my next destination Pangong lake and finally reached at Lukung post (Pangong Lake) by 5:15 pm and experienced the ultimate, serene beauty of the blue lake.
The sun was setting in the west and the reflection of blue sky made the lake so perfect. It was so cold & breezy but amazing picturesque view. I’ve spent around 40 mins there and moved to Spangmik (6-7 kms ahead) for Camp stay.
Most of the Camps. Tents and stay options are at Spangmik. I found a really nice Campsite and stayed there over night. After having a nice, filling dinner around 8:30pm, I sat outside my camp and spent some nice time looking at the sparkling stars of our milky way in crystal clear dark Sky. It was a splendid view of the sky, like someone has sprinkled a white colour brush on black canvas to create white spots. Later, I slept around 10:30pm in my tent.
