Tibet Travel Day1

Itinerary: Lhasa - Gangbala Pass - Yamdrok Lake - Karola Glacier Manla Reservoir - Shigatse Yamdrok Lake Pass is at an altitude of 4998M and is the best viewing platform overlooking Yamdrok Lake. The lake is even quieter in winter, with a thick layer of ice on the surface. The blue of Yamdrok Lake makes it hard to tell whether the sky in Tibet is bluer or the lake is bluer. The highest point of Karola Glacier, which can be reached by escalator, is close to an altitude of 5400M Karola Glacier is backed by the southern slope of one of the four major peaks in Tibet - Naiqinkang Sang Peak, and is also the location for the shooting of the movie 'Red River Valley'. It is really spectacular when viewed up close. On the way from Yamdrok Lake to Karola Glacier, we passed an unnamed glacier, which is as spectacular as Karola Glacier, and you can stop the car to admire it.
