Pumoyongcuo: Tibet’s Hidden Jewel in the Sky

#springitinerary Pumoyongcuo (also spelled Pumo Yumtso, 普莫雍错) is a stunning high-altitude lake located in the Tibet Autonomous Region of China. Often called the "most beautiful sacred lake you've never heard of," Pumoyongcuo sits at an elevation of approximately 5,070 meters (16,634 feet), making it one of the highest freshwater lakes in the world. It is considered sacred by local Tibetans and is rarely visited by tourists due to its remote location and challenging access, which adds to its mystery and appeal.
