Mount Kailash | Even beginners can easily master it, with a guide included
Even beginners can easily master it, with a guide included. After waiting for more than half a year, it has finally returned! It is an entry-level high-altitude trekking route in Tibet, and also one of the few routes in Tibet that is friendly to novices.
So what exactly is the Mount Kailash trek like?
Mount Kailash has an elevation of 7554M and is one of the peaks in the Himalayas in Tibet. It is also one of the four sacred mountains traditionally revered by the Tibetan people.
Route overview:
Scenery index: 5 stars
Difficulty index: 2 stars (without camping)

March-May, the spring snow season, with a high possibility of snowfall. The snow scenery and the rhododendrons in May are the main attractions at this time.
June-August, when wildflowers bloom sporadically, set against the clear lake water and the distant snow-capped mountains, one might feel as if they've stepped into a world created by Hayao Miyazaki.
September-October, the snow mountains and golden forests intertwine beautifully, as if walking through an oil painting.
November-February, the exclusive blue ice season, where one can indulge in the beauty of sapphires, especially at Puma Yumco.

The Covenant of Blue Ice | The First Mysterious Sheep Herding Festival of Pumoyong Tso
| The First Mysterious Sheep Herding Festival of Pumoyong Tso. Focus on the millennium folk customs, looking for the most beautiful blue ice!
I believe that anyone who has seen the documentary 'The Third Pole' will not be unfamiliar with the Sheep Herding Festival of Pumoyong Tso.
㊙️On the east bank of Pumoyong Tso, there is a 'highest administrative village in the world'--Tuiwa Village (altitude 5070)
Because of the high altitude, the local villagers are mainly pastoral.
Due to the cold winter and high altitude, the original grassland can no longer provide enough food for the sheep, but there is a rich grassland on the island in the heart of Pumoyong Tso, so every February, when Pumoyong Tso is frozen, the villagers will drive the sheep to the island. Wait until the next year before Pumoyong Tso is thawed, and then drive the sheep back to the village. This pastoral method has been continued for a thousand years.
Sheep Herding Festival: February 1, 2024
Address: Next to Tuiwa Village, Pumoyong Tso
⚠️Precautions:
1️⃣You need to apply for a border defense certificate to go to Pumoyong Tso
2️⃣The ice surface is very slippery, remember to bring ice claws
3️⃣The ice surface reflects strong ultraviolet rays, remember to do sun protection
4️⃣The temperature of the ice surface gradually decreases, you can stick some warm baby on the sole of your shoes and body

I love so much the divine scenery I saw
Sayram Lake, known as the 'Baikal Lake of China', is a dazzling gem of Tibet. Every winter, the lake freezes into ice, presenting a stunning blue ice spectacle, which would be a great pity to miss. Nature seems to favor this lake especially, the frozen lake surface blooms with dazzling blue light, the light and shadow change layer by layer, reflected in the ice surface, the texture on the ice surface is crisscrossed, as if the craftsman cut this dazzling sapphire with unparalleled craftsmanship, every angle is breathtakingly beautiful.
Admission is free all year round, the altitude is 5010 meters, the best viewing season is from December to February each year, the entire lake surface will freeze into thick ice, you can walk directly on the ice surface, if the weather is good, you can see blue ice, green ice, the cracks and bubbles in the ice are clearly visible.
Tips:
1. Border pass: Because Pumoyongtso is located in the border county, you need to apply for the Tibet border pass in advance, and the border pass specifies .
2. In February each year, when the ice layer is thickest, the annual migration of the Duiwa village sheep flock will be staged, which is very shocking.
3. Pumoyongtso's location is relatively remote, it is recommended to find a reliable local group to go, safety first.
4. It is recommended to bring a hat, scarf, gloves, sunglasses, be sure to keep warm.

2023-10-10 Today I left the heart of Yang Lake. As soon as I left the heart of Yang Lake, I heard that this scenic spot was closed. The reason is unknown, it's just closed. Today I will go to Pumoyongcuo. Pumoyongcuo is the largest freshwater lake in Tibet, with an altitude of 5010 meters. Tourism accommodation is being developed here. The scenery along the way is beautiful. We walk and take pictures. Continue to Yalong County. On the way, we pass through Duoqing Lake. Duoqing Lake is also a wetland park. There are many wild geese nesting here. The scenery is really beautiful. We walk along the 562 National Road and see Zhuomulaji Snow Mountain. Zhuomulaji Snow Mountain is very close to the road. If the weather is good, you can see the sunset golden mountain. We didn't arrive at the hotel to rest until more than nine o'clock in the evening.

Goddess Lake~Pumoyong Wrong
Pumoyong Wrong is located 58.4 kilometers southeast of Langkazi County in Shannan area, hugging with Yang Lake. Pumu in Tibetan means 'girl', so it is also called 'Girl Lake', with an altitude of 5010 meters, an area of 295 square kilometers, and the sacred mountain Kula Gangri Mountain surrounded by snow mountains by the lake. It is currently under development. When driving on the brand-new asphalt road, she quietly appears in front of you, as if falling from the sky makes your eyes shine. The azure sky, the flowing white clouds, the snow-capped mountains that can be vaguely seen in the distance, sitting by the lake will make you have an impulse not to leave. At this moment, the brain has stopped thinking, and the heartbeat has gradually calmed down. Thinking and too fast heartbeat seem redundant, just sitting quietly is enough. Due to the high altitude, it is still cold by the Pumoyong Wrong Lake. The autumn sun is particularly bright, the blue sky is like a huge display board, showing how rich the progressive stage of blue-green is under the reflection of the lake and snow-capped mountains. The scenery in front of me is dreamlike and beautiful, with various colors harmoniously matched. The quiet girl Pumoyong Wrong is dressed more beautifully. The brilliant morning glow seems to be the plateau red on her face, and the snow on the top of the mountain is like a white scarf. She just quietly places herself in such an environment, which makes people unbearable to disturb her peace.

"Pu Mo" means "girl" in Tibetan, so Pumo is known as "Girl Lake". It is really like a girl who is raised in the squat. Every time we come, we only have this car. The impression of Pumo Chongcuo suddenly appeared in front of the eyes inadvertently. When the car was still climbing the slope, suddenly it appeared at an altitude of 5,100 meters. The first time I saw Pumoocuo was very shocking. After we got a part of Yanghu Lake, we came to this already frozen Pomaocuo. The sun set and the lake was a little dazzling.

At the junction of Luozha County and Langkazi County in Tibet, there is one of the world's highest freshwater lakes, Pumo's fault. The altitude here is as high as 5010 meters. The lake is very pure, and it is a scene of unstained dust. There is not much makeup, the snowy peaks in the distance are like mirages, flickering in the clouds, the lake is blooming in the breeze, quiet and cold, like a goddess, quietly stationed in the wrong, guarding the generations here. People who live on behalf of the generation. Residents near
Pummo are living in animal husbandry, and thousands of sheep are often grazing on the shore. In the winter, the lake formed thick ice, and the grass on the lake was eaten by the sheep early. The herdsmen would drive the flock to the small island of the lake to graze. The scene of thousands of sheep collectively crossing the lake wanted to come. It is also very spectacular. Due to the summer lake block, the grass on the island grows very lush enough to support these sheep in the winter.
The blue sky here seems to be connected to the lake. The broad view makes the clouds very low from the ground, and you seem to be standing in the clouds, above the clouds, in the air, and still in the lake. His own reflection, there is a return to the conception of feathers into a Buddha.

Pumo's fault is a saltwater lake between the Himalayas. The lake is 5010m above sea level. Pu Mo means little girl. Wrong means a lake like Jasper. Pumos fault was surrounded by the rolling snow-capped mountains, and the Kuragang Day of the mountain was on the lakeside. Culagang Day is 7038m above sea level. The entire snow-capped mountain consists of three peaks. There are six peaks of 7000m above the Kulagang Day. Pumos water is blue and clear, and the small island in the lake is like a giant tortoise, quietly guarding the girl. Legend has it that Pomo's mistakes have been blessed by the masters of the lotus, and thus have a sacred atmosphere.
about transportation: chartered to go, after visiting Yanghu Lake, head toward Loza.
Tips:
1, go to Pumo Chongcuo to do border defense, 50 yuan per person.
2, there is one of the world's highest villages, Pushwa Village, near Pumo.
Beiou.
The icy Pmojicuo, the fascinating iconic Tianmen, the peach blossoms in the mountains and the wild, and the 13-day fight against each other. Lost the road, quarreled, angry, wanted to live, eat 138 yuan a steamed egg, wrapped in a down jacket holding a small partner shivering waiting to see Rizhao Jinshan. Although the whole journey is sour and bitter, I still miss the moment to see the scenery together.

Pumo is about 210 kilometers away from Lhasa. It is located at the junction of Luozha County and Langkazi County in Shannan District. It is about 5010 meters above sea level. It is a high-altitude freshwater lake in the world. They are high-altitude shepherds in the world. Together with the sheep, he continued to write the legend of the plateau called Pumo. Under the cuddling of the snow-capped mountains, this Tibetan girl is particularly shy, her name is Pumo. That one, turn the mountain and turn the water to the stupa, not to repair the afterlife, just to meet you on the way...
