You can now walk on the surface of Lake Puma Yumco! Here's a guide: || I passed by Lake Puma Yumco on January 18, 2025, and went down to the lake to confirm that it was basically safe to go down. Please confirm the safety and check for cracks in the ice before going down! This is very important! If you are driving, you can either go to the south bank or the north bank. Don't waste time at the viewing platform at the intersection, as it is backlit, windy, and not very scenic! The north bank has cliffs and scenery for photos, while the south bank has large ice blocks, Mount Kula Kangri, and sunsets! There is also a mountain glacier nearby! Lhasa day trip self-driving guide Navigation: Lake Puma Yumco, 220 km one way, passing by the No. 1 and No. 2 viewing platforms of Lake Yamdrok, which require a border pass for the Shannan area. Navigation: Lhasa - Lumbuxue Village - Lake Puma Yumco, 280 km one way, passing by the east bank of Lake Yamdrok and Horseshoe Island (a place to see blue ice at Lake Yamdrok), which does not require a pass, but you must return the same way. Do not return via Langkazi! Otherwise, the consequences will be serious! Lhasa two-day trip guide Day 1: Lhasa - Lake Yamdrok - Lake Qiang - Lake Puma Yumco - Tui Village Day 2: Tui Village Horseshoe Island - East Bank of Lake Yamdrok - Rituo Temple - Lhasa This schedule is more relaxed, and you can watch the sunset of Lake Puma Yumco in Tuiwa Village and the golden sunrise of Mount Kula Kangri at the Mundala Pass! Tui Village has the 5070 Hotel, which is not expensive, but the altitude is a bit high, and it will be cold at night, so be sure to bring more clothes! 'Must read' Try to leave before 9 am, as the journey is long, and it is usually windy in the afternoon in Tibet in winter. Leave early to enjoy the beautiful journey.
