HAZEL GARZA

Winter trip to Tibet〡You must come to Laigu Glacier once

Laigu Glacier allows you to get close to world-class glaciers. Many people say that you can't see blue ice in winter, which may be because you didn't choose the right season. In fact, from the end of December to February of the following year, the surface of Laigu Glacier will form thick blue ice, and you can walk on it. In this season, you will see scattered large ice blocks shining with charming blue, and the millennia-old ice blocks are within reach, as if you can travel back to the Ice Age in a second. In addition to blue ice blocks, you will encounter many ice cracks and bubbles along the way, and there are also various giant ice blocks and beautiful blue ice caves around. Laigu Glacier is located at the source of Parlung Zangbo, the snow and ice melt into Ranwu Lake, the lakeside is a dense primitive forest, and there are many primitive Tibetan villages. One of the three largest glaciers in the world, and the widest and longest known glacier group in Tibet, but it is not just one glacier, but is composed of Meixi, Yalong, Ruoqiao, Dongga, Xiongjia and Niuma glaciers, among which Yalong Glacier is the most spectacular) The surrounding attractions are Ranwu Lake and Laigu Village. Ranwu Lake sheds the turbidity of the rainy season in autumn and winter, revealing the most beautiful blue-green water color of the year. Laigu Village is a hidden, paradise-like village, located at the end of the glacier, nestled with Ranwu Lake. Because Laigu Glacier and Ranwu Lake are very close, the itinerary will put Laigu Glacier and Ranwu Lake in one day, and return to Bomi for accommodation after playing. Dress and item suggestions: Wear thermal underwear + thick woolen sweater + fleece storm jacket / down jacket on the upper body, wear autumn trousers + warm pants + windproof thick pants on the lower body, and wear sports shoes on the feet. Thick wool socks and ice claws, hats, gloves, scarves, and masks must also be brought. Carry a small bag with you, put warm stickers, mobile power, sunglasses, snacks, garbage bags, small change items. Accommodation suggestions: There is Songzan Meisu in Laigu Town where you can see Laigu Glacier when you open the window, but the accommodation conditions are limited. In addition to the Songzan Meisu which costs more than 2000 a night, there are only cheap guesthouses opened by villagers. Ranwu Town is about 1 hour drive from Laigu Glacier. There are hotels, small supermarkets and restaurants in the town. Bomi is nearly 3 hours away from Laigu Glacier, with an altitude of only 2700, and there are many choices of hotels and restaurants.
