Yamdroktso Lake

Along the South Loop Route, a story says that the fresh water in Yarlung Tsangpo River washed the mausoleums nearby and brings the treasure hidden in them to the villages along the river, bit by bit, when the trees turn green and the river rises gradually in spring and summer. This place boasts sapphire-colored water in Yamdroktso Lake, the most beautiful water in the world; ancient aristocratic manors of 700 years; and Tradruk Monastery built on a mountain ridge.
