It is one of three holy lakes, the others being Namtso and Mampang Yumco. It is the largest inland lake at the northern foot of the Himalayas. </font></p> <p class="a10"><font color="#000000">Yamzhog means upper pastureland and &quot;co&quot; mans Lake in Tibetan. When overlooking the Yamzhog Yumco Lake, one might envision a gigantic sapphire within surrounding mountains. </font></p> <p class="a10"><font color="#000000">The lake has nine islands, of which one houses the famous Samding Monastery -- a Nyinmapa monastery. This monastery is the only Tibetan monastery to be headed by a female reincarnation. Since it is not a nunnery, its female abbot heads a community of about 30 monks. </font></p> <p class="a10"><font color="#000000">The Yamzhog Yumco Lake is rich in hydroelectric power. The drop between the lake surface to the Yarlung Tsangpo River at the foot of the mountain falls more than 800 meters. The Yamzhog Yumco Power Station at such a high altitude is well known in the world. </font></p> <p class="a10"><font color="#000000">The charming lake produces abundant fish resources. In the lake and the surrounding expansive pastures, animals and birds grow with vitality. There are dozens of lake islets where birds perch. Shepherds ferry their sheep flocks to the islets during herding season since no wild animals are found there. The sheep return in winter. </font></p> <p class="a10"><font color="#000000">Today, both pilgrims and tourists can be seen walking along the lake's perimeter, enjoying the diversified fauna and flora, admiring the snow-capped mountains in the distance and visiting the villages scattered along the shore.</font></p> </div> <div class="pagebreak">page:<strong><a href="../Html/2006331133250-1.Html">[1]page</a>&nbsp;</strong></div> <div id="txtBottom"> <span>[<A href="javascript:doPrint()"> Printing</A>] [<A class=black href="javascript:window.close()">Closure</A>]</span> </div><!--/ txtBottom--> <div id="next" style="margin-left:20px;"> <div> <p> <span style="font-size:12px; font-weight:bold;">More Information Related to Recycle-bin</span></p> <ul> <xoYu_CMS_CODE:NEWS:NEWS_TOP><a title="Saga Yajiang Yajie Hotel" href="../Html/201042002039-1.Html">Saga Yajiang Yajie Hotel</a><p><a title="Saga Xingyue Guesthouse" href="../Html/201042001756-1.Html">Saga Xingyue Guesthouse</a><p><a title="Saga Hotel" href="../Html/201042001140-1.Html">Saga Hotel</a><p><a title="Temples Pinning down the Demoness" href="../Html/20103154952-1.Html">Temples Pinning down the Demoness</a><p><a title="Tibetan Monasteries " href="../Html/2010315445-1.Html">Tibetan Monasteries </a><p><a title="How to visit a monastery in Tibet" href="../Html/20103154241-1.Html">How to visit a monastery in Tibet</a><p><a title="Being a responsible tourist" href="../Html/20103153599-1.Html">Being a responsible tourist</a><p><a title="Road conditions in China Tibet" href="../Html/201031514123-1.Html">Road conditions in China Tibet</a><p><a title="How to reduce cost of Tibet Tour" href="../Html/20102615053-1.Html">How to reduce cost of Tibet Tour</a><p><a title="Kathmandu EBC Lhasa Tour" href="../Html/20091212343-1.Html">Kathmandu EBC Lhasa Tour</a><p><a title="Kathmandu to Lhasa Budget Tour (Drive in ¨C Fly out): " href="../Html/200912123126-1.Html">Kathmandu to Lhasa Budget Tour (Drive in ¨C Fly out): </a><p><a title="3 Days Lhasa-Shigatse-Dham-Nepali Border Transfer" href="../Html/200911112535-1.Html">3 Days Lhasa-Shigatse-Dham-Nepali Border Transfer</a><p><a title="SG001C Lhasa to Everest Base Camp 7 Days 6 nights Tour by Tourist Bus" href="../Html/200981822121-1.Html">SG001C Lhasa to Everest Base Camp 7 Days 6 nights Tour by Tourist Bus</a><p><a title="Namtso Lake Introduction" href="../Html/2009723193935-1.Html">Namtso Lake Introduction</a><p><a title="Lake Manasarovar Introduction" href="../Html/20097172453-1.Html">Lake Manasarovar Introduction</a><p><a title="Ngari Introduction" href="../Html/2009716223546-1.Html">Ngari Introduction</a><p><a title="Riwoche Monastery" href="../Html/2009714201932-1.Html">Riwoche Monastery</a><p><a title="Lhasa Jiangsu Ecological Garden Hotel" href="../Html/20096384958-1.Html">Lhasa Jiangsu Ecological Garden Hotel</a><p><a title="mount kailash" href="../Html/20095270518-1.Html">mount kailash</a><p><a title="Beijing-Tibet-Kathmandu Overland 10 days tour" href="../Html/20093212570-1.Html">Beijing-Tibet-Kathmandu Overland 10 days tour</a><p></xoYu_CMS_CODE:NEWS:NEWS_TOP></ul> </div> </div> </div> <!--/ leftMainContent--> </div><!--/ leftMain--> <div id="rightMain"> <div id="thisformdiv"> <form action=" http://www.tibettravel.org/tibettravel/order/order_save.asp" method="post" id="thisform" name="myform" onSubmit="return check()"> <fieldset> <legend>Want a Quick Answer?</legend> <p><label for="name" accesskey="9">Name:&nbsp;</label> <input type="text" id="name" name="Fullname" tabindex="1"></p> <p> <label for="email">Email:&nbsp;</label> <input type="text" id="email" name="Email"tabindex="2"></p> <p> <label for="request">Your Request</label> <input type="text" value="3" name="type1" style="display:none" /> <input type="text" value="Quick Book" name="title" style="display:none" /> <label> <textarea name="content" id="text1" rows="3" onBlur="if (value ==''){value='Question not answered?
