Discover the Majestic Beauty of Three Big Holy Lakes

Tibet is a natural paradise with countless lakes and valleys that create a diverse, peaceful, and picturesque landscape. Some lakes are serene and surrounded by lush green canopies, resembling smooth glass, while others flow rapidly along tall, rocky hills and mountains. In addition to showcasing nature’s beauty, some lakes possess enchanting legends that contribute to their mystical charm.

Some lakes in Tibet have sacred significance in multiple religions, attracting numerous visitors and pilgrims worldwide. While each lake in the Tibet Valley is a masterpiece, the three most renowned sacred lakes are Yamdrok, Namco, and Mapam Yumco.

Yamdrok Lake

Yamdrok Lake, known as ‘jade lake,’ is a stunning natural masterpiece. Its turquoise blue waters attract visitors from around the world. Surrounded by the majestic Himalayas, the lake offers a serene and grand setting. Legends say it is the transformation of a goddess, giving it a mystical vibe. The Samding Monastery overlooks the lake, adding to its spiritual aura. The lake is teeming with life, with fish and birds gracefully gliding across its surface. Visiting Yamdrok Lake is a life-changing experience, reminding us of the beauty of nature. It is a sanctuary for the soul where one can connect with the Earth’s essence. The lake stands as a timeless reminder of our planet’s allure and a respite from modern chaos.

Lake Namtso

Lake Namtso is acclaimed for its sanctity and unique location. Situated at 4718 meters above sea level, it is the largest natural seawater lake in the world at this elevation. The sparkling water and natural beauty of the lake create an enchanting sight for visitors, leaving them spellbound by its magnificent splendour. The Tashi dor Monastery and its cavern hermitages add to the lake’s divine significance and glow. Local legend states that Namtso was the wife of the God of Mount Nyainqentanghla.

Mapam Yumco Lake

Also termed Lake Manasarovar, Mapam Yumtso Lake holds religious significance not only for Tibetans but is also considered holy and divine in Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism religions. Unmatched for its ethereal beauty around the globe, the sparkling clear lake is the largest freshwater lake at an elevation of 4556 meters above sea level. With scores of pure white swans swarming its shores throughout the year, the lake is believed to have mystical powers that can wash off all sins of the mortals. Due to the presence of the famous Mount Kailasha in the suburbs and having attachment to the Hindu God Lord Brahma, this lake is a prime pilgrimage site for people from India, Nepal and Sri Lanka.
