हेमिस मठ ( Hemis Monastery ) लद्दाख
लेह से लगभग 45 किमी दूर एक क़स्बा है हेमिस। यहाँ एक बौध मठ है जिसे हेमिस गोम्पा या Hemis Monastery
कहते हैं। हेमिस लगभग 12000 फुट की ऊंचाई पर स्थित है और सिन्धु नदी के
पश्चिमी किनारे पर है। कहा जाता है की यह गोम्पा ग्यारहवीं सदी या उससे भी
पहले का है और इसकी पुनर्स्थापना लद्दाखी राजा सेंनग्गे नामग्याल ने 1672
में करवाई थी। यह गोम्पा महायान बौध समुदाय के द्रुकपा शाखा से सम्बन्ध
रखता है। और मठों के मुक़ाबले यह सबसे बड़ा और सबसे सम्पन्न मठ है।

An
awesome sight really! Clear blue skies, bright sun, not a soul to be
seen, whispering wind & simmering water. Unbelievable!
The Pangong Lake is
situated at a height of about 14270 ft. The Lake is about 134 km long
and it's 5 km wide at its broadest point. Nearly 82 km of it lies in
Tibet. Max depth of the Lake is 100 mtr.
Though it has saline
water but it gets frozen in winter. It remains open for tourists from
May to Sept & visit is allowed only on permits as Line of Actual
Control passes through the Lake. From Leh it is five hours tough drive. Lake has no fish & boating is not permitted.
Several films including 'Dil Se' & '3 Idiots' have been shot here.
