Traditional housing around Pangong Tso consists of sturdy, flat-roofed structures made from locally sourced stone, mud-brick, and timber. These homes are designed to retain heat, featuring small windows and central heating stoves that burn yak dung or wood.
In recent years, to accommodate the tourism boom, there has been a proliferation of "homestays"—extensions of traditional homes built to host visitors. During the summer, the shoreline is dotted with dozens of temporary, semi-permanent "glamping" (glamorous camping) sites made of thick canvas and insulated tin structures.
