Drangtse

Drangtse, also called Tangtse, lies in eastern Ladakh on the route from Leh across the Chang La towards Pangong Tso. The settlement stands in a high valley west of the long lake, amid mountains marked by ancient carvings and inscriptions. Travellers approaching the lake from Ladakh pass through this country after crossing the high Ladakh Range. The valley forms part of the meeting ground between Ladakh and the Tibetan plateau.
