3 Idiots Was Shot in Pangong Lake
India is a beautiful country. It is a vast nation with diverse terrain – from Himalayas to Indian Ocean. There are many beautiful locations in this unique nation, which is dotted with many amazing monuments.
Bollywood movie makers have explored India meticulously. Here are some amazing Bollywood film shooting locations in India.
Pangong Lake
Also known as Pangong Tso, which, in Tibetan, means high grassland lake, Pangong lake is an endorheic lake near Leh in Jammu and Kashmir. This 134-km-long saltwater lake is in the Himalayas. It is at an elevation of 4,250 meters. Starting with the blockbuster ‘3 Idiots’, Bollywood movies have made Pangong lake a popular attraction.
Leh is well-connected with other cities and towns in the region. Flights are available from Delhi, Jammu and Srinagar. Kalka railway station (754 kilometers) is the nearest railway station.
Indians have to obtain an inner line permit for visiting this lake. If you are not an Indian you need to obtain a protected area permit if you want to travel from Leh to Pangong lake.
Pangong lake is around 150 kilometers from Leh. Government and private companies operate buses between Leh and the lake. I suggest that you take JKSRTC bus from Leh to Pangong lake.
