Yamdrok Lake | A stunning sapphire that takes your breath away

A stunning sapphire that takes your breath away. Having seen Yamdrok Lake in the summer, it's captivating and beautiful. But I never expected the spring to make it even more astonishing. The distant mountains are still covered with white snow, and the new grass has not yet grown, leaving the grassland a shade of earthy yellow. The azure lake water flows quietly between the mountains. The white of the snow mountains, the yellow of the grassland, and the blue of the lake water compose a fresh and clean picture, eliciting an involuntary exclamation: 'It's so beautiful!' All photos were taken from the first viewing platform, where you can get a more complete view of Yamdrok Lake from an overlooking perspective. The wind is quite strong at the viewing platform, so remember to take windproof and warm measures. If you have time, you can visit the Tibetan nomadic home next to Yamdrok Lake to taste the Tibetan hot pot. The restaurant has floor-to-ceiling glass windows, allowing you to enjoy the delicious food while admiring the beautiful scenery of Yamdrok Lake. What a delightful experience! After the meal, you can also walk to the lakeside to see the rippling waves and the clouds rolling by.
