Gurudwara Pathar Sahib stands at the place where Guru Nanak, the founder of Sikh religion and the first Guru, is believed to have vanquished a demon. The gurudwara is maintained today by the Indian Army. Close by is Magnetic Hill – it has been noticed that when a vehicle is parked on neutral gear on this metallic road, the vehicle slides up-hill.

Depart early in the morning for an excursion to Pangong Lake. The drive will take approximately 6 hours one way. Enroute you will pass Chang-la (18,000 feet) which despite its great elevation is one of the easier passes, remaining open for much of the year even in winter, apart from periods of actual snowfall. Pangong Lake, situated at 14,000 feet , is the most famous lake in Ladakh. A long narrow basin of inland drainage, hardly six to seven kilometers at its widest point to which foreigners are permitted, it affords spectacular views of the mountains of the Changchenmo range to the north, their reflection shimmering in the ever-changing blues and greens of the lake’s brackish water. Above Spangmik are the glacier and snow-capped peaks of the Pangong range. Return to Leh afterwards.
