|
Yamdrok Tso Lake is 100 kilometers southwest of Lhasa; the lake is a beautiful turquoise blue palette occupying an area of 678 square kilometers. The lake is elevated 4,441 meters above mean sea level; it is the third largest lake in Tibet. “Yamdrok” in Tibetan means upper pasture and Tso means lake. Tibetan Buddhists consider the lake sacred; it has no outlets nor perennial source of incoming water however occasionally melted snow from mountains deposit into the lake.
