Spangmik Campsites
Spangmik
The densest cluster of lakeside overnight stays on the Indian side of Pangong Tso, with tent camps and guesthouses along the shore; the top choice for sunsets, stars and sunrise.
Spangmik lies about 7 km south of Lukung. It is the most concentrated accommodation village on the Indian side of Pangong Tso, with dozens of luxury tent camps (with private bathrooms) and family guesthouses along the shore. Prices vary greatly with facilities, and it is advisable to book ahead for peak season in July and August. In the evening the snowy peaks across the lake are lit gold and red by the setting sun, and at night there is almost no light pollution, so the Milky Way is clearly visible. At dawn, when the lake is still, the reflections are at their most beautiful. Camps usually have electricity for limited hours in the evening, and mobile signal is available only with some carriers. Even in summer, nights can drop to around 0°C, so bring a down jacket and a headlamp. At an altitude of about 4,300 m, avoid bathing and drinking alcohol on your first night.
