3 Idiots Shooting Point

3 Idiots Point

The shoreline location used in the ending of the film 3 Idiots; the coloured scooter, yellow helmet and Rancho prop combination is a must-photo for visitors.

The ending of the 2009 Indian film 3 Idiots, in which Rancho and Pia are reunited, was filmed on the shore between Lukung and Spangmik. This made Pangong Tso an overnight sensation among Indian and Chinese visitors. Today the shoreline has film-themed cafés and photo stalls where, for a small fee, you can sit on the same yellow scooter as in the film, wear a helmet and take photos. There is also a sign reading 'All is well' by the water. The spot is on the shore road between Lukung and Spangmik, and nearly every day-trip vehicle stops here. Agree on the price before taking photos at the stalls, and be careful, as the gravel ground can be slippery.
