Mountain village next to a high altitude Pangong Tso lake in the Himalayas - stock video

"Timelapse shot of the amazing blue waters rippling as the wind blows across a high altitude lake in the Leh region of the Himalayas. In the foreground is a simple village set above green rice fields and a few small buildings. Cloud shadows move slowly across the hills. The lake is surrounded by snow capped mountains and desert arid landscape beneath a deep blue sky. Pangong Tso (Tibetan: སྤང་གོང་མཚོ, Wylie: spang gong mtsho; Hindi: पांगोंग त्सो; Chinese: 班公错; pinyin: Bāngōng Cuò), Tibetan for "high grassland lake", also referred to as Pangong Lake, 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 China. Approximately 60% of the length of the lake lies in China. 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 Indus river basin area and geographically a separate land locked river basin.[3] The lake is in the process of being identified under the Ramsar Convention as a wetland of international importance. This will be the first trans-boundary wetland in South Asia under the convention. Pangong Tso is in disputed territory. The Line of Actual Control passes through the lake. A section of the lake approximately 20 km east from the Line of Actual Control is controlled by China but claimed by India. The eastern end of the lake is in Tibet. After the mid-19th century, Pangong Tso was at the southern end of Johnson Line, an early attempt at demarcation between India and China in the Aksai Chin region. The Khurnak Fort lies on the northern bank of the lake, halfway of Pangong Tso.[4] The Chinese has controlled the Khurnak Fort area since 1952.[5][6] To the south is the smaller Spanggur Tso lake.
