Yamdrok Yumtso means "swan pool" in Tibetan and is also called Yamdrok Yumtso Lake, locally referred to as "Yang Lake" for short. Along with Namtso and Mapam Yumtso, it is known as one of the three holy lakes of Xizang. Located on the south bank of the Yarlung Zangbo River in Nagarze County, Shannan City, the lake surface sits at an elevation of approx. 4400 m, making it a relatively large inland lake on the northern foothills of the Himalayas. Yamdrok Yumtso has numerous branching inlets and winding tributaries, resembling coral branches spreading among the mountains when viewed from above, hence its Tibetan name "upper coral lake." The lake water displays alternating layers of blue and green under different lighting conditions. The lake is dotted with over a dozen small islands and is home to plateau fish species such as the fine-scaled fish, Xizang schizothoracin, and plateau naked carp. It is also an important waterbird habitat in southern Xizang, where migratory birds like swans, bar-headed geese, yellow ducks, and ospreys gather in flocks along the lakeshore and on the central islands to overwinter each winter. Yamdrok Yumtso is more impressive when viewed from afar than up close. After crossing the Gambala Pass at an altitude of about 5,000 meters, the view suddenly opens up, and the winding lake surface can be seen like a ribbon below—a classic angle to admire Yamdrok Yumtso. Descending the winding mountain road for about half an hour leads to the lakeshore, with multiple viewing platforms along the way for stopping to take photos and appreciate the changing colors of the lake and the interplay of mountains and water from different heights.China · Nagarze County

Mount Qomolangma, meaning "Third Goddess" in Tibetan, is located in Tingri County of Shigatse Prefecture on the China-Nepal border. With an elevation of 8,848.86m, it stands as the highest peak of the Himalayas.Highest peak in the worldThe Mount Qomolangma attraction area is surrounded by 4 peaks over 8,000m and more than 40 peaks over 7,000m. Its pyramid-shaped mountain body appears majestic and imposing.Snow-capped peaks year-roundThe mountain is flanked by three major ridges—the northeast ridge, southeast ridge, and west ridge—with three steep cliffs (north face, east face, and southwest face) nestled between them. Among these ridges and cliffs lie over 500 large glaciers, adorned with spectacular and rare ice towers, ice cliffs towering dozens of meters high, and deep crevasses. These breathtaking views come together to form the majestic "Third Pole of the Earth." The climate here is complex and unpredictable, often changing dramatically even within a single day. Generally, the rainy season lasts from early June to September, when the likelihood of encountering heavy snowstorms is high. The best viewing periods are between April–May and September–October.This is also a great time for mountain climbing.If you're not a trained mountaineer, visiting the attraction mainly offers distant views of the majestic Third Goddess Peak. You can spend a night at base camp to experience the 5,200m altitude, or if you're physically fit, hike a short distance to admire the spectacular Rongbuk Glacier up close.China · Tingri

Gangbala Mountain is located between Langkazi County and Gonggar County in Shannan, Tibet. It is adjacent to Yamdrok Lake in the south, Gangdise Mountain in the east, and the Himalayas in the west, stretching across the center of Tibet. The car drove along the winding mountain road and crossed the mountain top. The altitude of the pass was 4,980 meters, which is an excellent location for taking panoramic views of Yamdrok Lake.

Turn from G219 to Yadong direction and take S208 to the foot of the mountain, where there is a parking area. The snow on the top of the mountain can be clearly seen through camera lenses and telescopes. Zhuomulaji (female) and Kangchenzhangjia (male) look at each other from a distance. Legend has it that there was a beautiful and moving love story...

The lake is not very wide, and on the other side there stretches a group of snow-capped mountains, on which the snow is like condensed fat, and the clouds are like white curtains. The snow and clouds are hidden, and you can't tell how high the mountains are or how thick the clouds are. I think this colorful lake must be the melted white snow on the mountains, which makes it even more amazing.

The seasonal climate of Shigatse is much later than that of the plains. The best season is the late spring and early autumn, when the grasslands are full of vitality. After passing Kangma County to Yadong County, you will see endless grasslands, which is the famous Pari grassland in Tibet. Cows and sheep stroll in it and graze leisurely. Thanks to the lush grass and water, the yaks and sheep living here are taller than those in Nagqu, Ali and other areas of Tibet.

The experience was excellent. It's so convenient for tourists who don't drive to get to Yamdrok Lake. The driver was also very nice and made sure to stop at each viewpoint for a good amount of time so that tourists could enjoy the view and take photos. Thumbs up!

Driver Danba Dunzhu is extremely responsible, especially punctual, and has excellent driving skills. He carefully reminds drivers of all safety precautions every time the car is restarted. He is the best driver I've encountered so far in my trip to Tibet.

This time, I booked a small group tour of 8 people from Shigatse to the Mount Everest base camp, and the overall experience was excellent. The driver drove very steadily, and the schedule was reasonable. He reminded everyone along the way to be aware of altitude sickness, dress warmly, and prioritize safety, and was patient and helpful when needed. Although Mount Everest was constantly shrouded in clouds due to weather conditions, preventing us from seeing the entire peak, which was a bit of a disappointment, natural weather is uncontrollable, and the itinerary itself was fine. The vehicle was clean, and with a small group, it wasn't too crowded. The high-altitude valleys, mountain passes, and Everest Base Camp along the way were all very unique, and the driver was responsible, without rushing us or forcing us to spend money. Overall, the service exceeded my expectations, making it a safe and smooth trip to Mount Everest, and I highly recommend it.

The foot of the glacier is 5,020 meters high, so climbing it really requires careful consideration. When the guide asked if we could rent oxygen tanks, I quickly raised my hand. Step by step, even with oxygen, it was difficult to climb. I felt exhausted. Then, a small lake appeared. Some people circled the lake and continued to ascend, so I gave up decisively. The movie "Red River Valley" was filmed here, making the Karola Glacier quite famous. Many travelers come here to admire the magnificent glacier and marvel at the charm of nature.
