Yamdrok Lake: A circle around the lake, heart towards the sacred mountain and lake

Yamdrok Lake, this ribbon-like lake embedded in the Himalayas, is only about 70 kilometers away from Lhasa. Overlooking from the Gangbala Pass at an altitude of 5030 meters, the lake surface is like a mirror, blue and boundless, as if the whole world has been dyed with sacred colors. On the west side of the lake stands the Ningjin Kangsha Peak, which is 7206 meters high. This most important sacred mountain in the back Tibet is also one of the traditional four sacred mountains in Tibet. Its name 'Ningjin Kangsha' means 'The Yaksha God lives on the noble snow mountain', showing its mystery and arrogance. This snow peak guards the sacred lake, separates the world outside the Yarlung Zangbo River, as if guarding a sacred and inviolable pure land. In the hearts of Tibetans, Yamdrok Lake is regarded as the 'turquoise earrings scattered by the goddess'. No matter from which angle you appreciate it, you can't see its full view. Every part of this lake is full of mystery and charm, attracting countless devout Buddhists to come for pilgrimage. Every year, these Buddhists will go around the lake once, which is not only a reverence for the gods, but also a persistence in their own beliefs. They believe that going around the lake once is equivalent to a pilgrimage to Lhasa once, and the gods will bless them for a good year. This belief and piety make Yamdrok Lake even more sacred and beautiful. The journey to Yamdrok Lake is not only a pursuit of beautiful scenery, but also a baptism of the soul. Here, we feel the magic and charm of nature, and also feel the power and warmth of faith. May everyone who comes to this land be moved by its sacredness and beauty, and find their own faith and strength. 🌟🌊🏔️🙏
