Lhamo-Lhatso, the Oracle Lake
Tibet tours main page

This trip is a combination of an excursion to South Tibet, to Lhodrak Valley that parallels the Tibet-Bhutan Himalayas and offers striking views of the imposing Mt. Khula Kangri (7554m). From Lhasa we travel to Nangkartse over the Gampa-La pass, skirt the northern shore of Yamdroktso Lake, continue on to the sacred lake of Phurma Tso, and then arrive in Lhodrak. From here we turn northwest through Tsomi County, past Trigu Lake, where you may enjoy the company of nomadic yak herders and take a dip in the hot springs, to Tsetang. From Tsetang we set out on our journey to Lhamo-Lhatso, the key highlight of our trip, and an oracle lake, where visions of the regents who pilgrimaged to its shore have foretold the reincarnation of Dalai Lamas.
