Introduction
Lhamo Latso Lake Trekking is unexplored trekking, which has its beauty as a remote area. However, based on its prominent religious value in Buddhism of Tibet, more than hundreds of people in Tibet plan for their religious tours and pilgrimage to the famous Oracle lake named Lhamo Lhatso on a yearly basis.
Here, the thrilling trip goes through Yarlung, the historical capital city belonging to the southern Tibet region, and with the visit of the first monastery of Buddhists and the first palace of the Tibetan King in the fertile valley of Tibet.
Later on, we will move ahead to remote village areas and in approximately 5 days of our trek, we will trek across various photogenic villages and nomadic pastures. In fact, we will cross large numbers of mountain passes, which are beyond 5,000 meters, and stunning lakes belonging to the alpine valley.
Later on, the trail will go through various historical monasteries, and finally, we will go for a steep climb on the ridge that starts from the monastery of Choker Gyal that takes us to a popular spot remarked with many prayer flags from the ridge of about 5250meters height. Now, we will be able to get a picturesque view of the visionary lake named Lhamo Lhatse Lake that goes down the basin valley. Thus, the pilgrimage lets you view various high snow mountains, famous monasteries, seldom visited hermitages in caves, and the sacred Lhatse Lake.
