Laigu Glacier

Located in the mysterious and pure blue ice realm of Tibet, you can touch the glacier up close, witnessing a millennia in a single glance. Between the end of the glacier and the ice lake, the fractured glacier reveals layers of eerily blue ice, towering dozens of meters high. The immense blue ice walls and ice caves present a scene so stunning, it's as if you're wandering through an Ice Age. Featured on the cover of the September 2018 issue of 'China National Geographic' magazine: 'Laigu Glacier Group, the true beauty lies even deeper.' You might find the full view of the glacier ordinary at first, but as you walk further in and see the blue ice up close, right before your eyes, within reach, only then can you appreciate the true beauty of Laigu. Beauty and danger coexist; the glacier's form varies with the seasons. Winter is the best time to visit, as the colder it is, the thicker and safer the ice layer on the lake. When the weather isn't cold enough, many areas have ice that's too thin and can easily break, causing you to fall into the ice. It's essential to have a reliable guide leading the way, safety first!
