Situated high in southern Tibet, scorpion-shaped Yamdrok Tso is often a perfect mirror of its surrounding barren mountains.
After driving for a few hours from Lhasa, we reached Kamba La Pass at just under 4,800m. The lonely, empty road suddenly was lined by colourfully dressed yaks, small stalls, and souvenir sellers. The latter stormed our car as soon as we were about to stop. I struggled to get out of the car and looked back, to have a last look over the valley and mountain pass we had just climbed. Then, I walked back, and finally found some peace from the souvenir sellers to take in the view of Yamdrok Tso, lying seveal hundred metres below me - a beautiful lake which looked extremely calm. I could imagine how the lake could be of female mythical origins to the Tibetans.
