The Rangjon Resort at Pangong Lake… What an incredible place to have stumbled across during my Himalayan adventure!
With limited Internet access and some very rare communities that aren’t necessarily online yet, finding accommodation around the Himalayas can be challenging. We had some very basic homestays which were rustic but thoroughly enjoyable. So I wanted to give a shout out to my favourite overnight on our Himalayan adventure – Rangjon Resort at Pangong Lake. Located on the shores of the turquoise blue Pangong Lake right by the Chinese border, it’s a tranquil spot.
We had our own private cabin with a super comfortable squidgy bed that boasted clean fresh white linen specially laundered for the next guest. You’ll be amazed that most of the other places we stayed you are just using sheets (probably used by hundreds of others before you) at Rangjon Resort there was a hot shower that came out of an actual showerhead on the wall! And an incredible skylight window above the bed to enjoy the starry sky and upon arrival we had the most exquisite cuisine we tasted so far in India.
The team spoke great English and it was an incredibly friendly welcome. When I told them that I had been cold sleeping almost every night, they quickly went away and appeared back with three cosy hot water bottles. The little extra touches that just make for an even better experience is something Rangjon Resort definitely does.
If you’re planning a road trip around the Himalayas, I would highly recommend Rangjon Resort, it would be ideal for couples, families all the way through to large groups of motorcycles. It’s even possible to have dinner and a bonfire on the lakeside if you wanted to
