It is the last village up to which foreigners are allowed access into the country, situated very next to the Indo-Tibetian border. At a height of 3183 metres, it is a famous vacation spot because of its hot spring water. One of the only hot water spring village is situated in Panamik. This not only adds to the beauty of the scenery when having a dip in the pool, but also helps you understand why this would be one of the first places you should visit.
Not only is the whole region gifted with spectacular vistas, since it is so close to the Siachen Glacier, the world’s highest battleground, you will see even more beautiful sights.
