Things to do in Nagarze County

The experience was excellent. It's so convenient for tourists who don't drive to get to Yamdrok Lake. The driver was also very nice and made sure to stop at each viewpoint for a good amount of time so that tourists could enjoy the view and take photos. Thumbs up!

Healed by the blue of Pumo Yumco! The ultimate romance of Tibet's "plateau sapphire" If Kula Kangri is the majestic symbol of Tibet's sacred mountains, then Pumo Yumco is a gentle gem lost on the plateau. This holy lake, at an altitude of 4980 meters, with its pure, exquisite blue, fulfilled all my imaginations about Tibetan lakes 🌊 Starting from Lhasa, driving south along the provincial highway after Yamdrok Yumco, as the car rounded the last mountain bend, Pumo Yumco suddenly came into view—it wasn't just ordinary lake blue, but an icy blue infused with glacial light, a deep azure blended with the clear sky. Standing on the viewing platform, the lake resembled an endless sapphire, inlaid between snow-capped mountains and grasslands, even the wind carrying a gentle coolness. The meadows along the lake were still slightly withered, yet they provided the perfect backdrop for the lake's beauty. Strolling along the lakeshore, the pebbles underfoot occasionally chirped softly. The distant Kula Kangri snow-capped peaks were clearly visible, their reflections shimmering on the lake's surface, creating a breathtaking "snow-capped mountains reflected in the lake" scene. There were no crowds, no vendors hawking their wares; only the occasional waterbird flying by and the rustling of prayer flags in the wind. Time seemed to slow down here, even breathing felt exceptionally light. The most delightful surprise was encountering herds of livestock by the lake. Black yaks and white sheep grazed leisurely on the meadows, while wisps of smoke rose from Tibetan tents in the distance, creating a scene of pristine Tibetan life. I couldn't resist approaching and chatting with the herders. Their simple smiles and slightly broken Mandarin added a touch of warmth to the beautiful scenery. The afternoon sun shone through the clouds onto the lake, its surface shimmering and displaying various shades of blue—light, dark, and turquoise—making every snapshot a masterpiece, requiring no filter. Looking down at the lake, the water was crystal clear, revealing the pebbles at the bottom. Its purity was breathtaking.

The scenery here is excellent, but the altitude is high, the wind is strong, and the mountain road is winding. Self-driving tours test driving skills and cold prevention measures must be taken. People with altitude sickness should not go up.

It is known as one of the highest villages in the world, more than 5,000 meters above sea level. It seems that it was accidentally discovered by a senior who took the wrong road. Every step here feels like death. Don't try it if you are not in good health. The scenery is beautiful and you can overlook the holy lake.

This is one of the easier-to-reach glacial lakes in Tibet (located next to National Highway 349, with no bad roads from Lhasa). It's also backed by a large glacier, offering a true Ice Age experience during January and February. There's no entrance fee in winter. The only downside is the strong winds.

Tibet is a sacred place in my mind. It has pure air, clear streams, beautiful plateau meadows, and gentle yaks walking. I had some altitude sickness here, but I was still excited to see such a beautiful scenery.

The Cogyal Glacier (also known as Glacier 40) is located at the foot of the Zhuomula Rikang Snow Mountain in Lhozha County, Shannan Prefecture, Tibet, with an altitude of 5,300 meters, the same height as the Everest Base Camp in Shigatse Prefecture. The moraine, moraine lake, ice tongue, serac forest, ice stalactites, ice cracks, ice lake, ice caves, etc. can be viewed up close. It is a rare place with beautiful scenery.

The foot of the glacier is 5,020 meters high, so climbing it really requires careful consideration. When the guide asked if we could rent oxygen tanks, I quickly raised my hand. Step by step, even with oxygen, it was difficult to climb. I felt exhausted. Then, a small lake appeared. Some people circled the lake and continued to ascend, so I gave up decisively. The movie "Red River Valley" was filmed here, making the Karola Glacier quite famous. Many travelers come here to admire the magnificent glacier and marvel at the charm of nature.

It was so exciting and fun. I felt really good. The instructor was very patient. It was safe for the first time. The landing was also very smooth. The weather was very good today. It was really different to see Yanghu Lake from the sky. I could play for more than 20 minutes. The lady on the scene had a good attitude and the customer service also called to send me the location, which was very professional.
