Site information

Site code: IND-CHA-TAV
Tangtse village
Tangtse; Trangtse; Dran-tse
Coming from Leh, after crossing the village, take the road leading to Pangong Lake. Rocks are behind the last houses of the village at the junction of the 2 roads (see map). Tangtse is on the Leh-Rudok-Lhasa route via the Chang Pass (5300m) which joins the Indus Valley at Karu. It is possible to reach the Indus Valley by two other routes: one arrives at Igu, the other at Funa (passes at 5600m). From Tangtse it is possible to reach the Shyok by two routes which meet at Agham: one is through the Nebuk pass (5440m) following the Lazun Lungpa and the other is either through Darbuk and no pass or the Halam pass (5150m) both following the Shyok.
