On our last day in Tibet, we took a detour to Yamdrok Lake—2.5 hrs from Lhasa airport. Harsh sun, winding roads, but once we crossed the 4700m pass, the blue lake appeared—unreal, sacred.

For Tibetans, Yamdrok Lake is the largest and most important of the three holy lakes. It is believed that Yamdrok Lake is the female Guardian of Buddhism in Tibet and that the lake will bless and protect them.
