Lhamo Lhatso Lake known as the Lhatso of the Dalai Lamas, this is the most important “Vision Lake” of Tibet. Every Dalai Lama came here a least once in his life to look for clues concerning his future and the circumstances of his death. This trek will leads on the sacred road to look for ourselves’ future. According to the legend three mountains; the red, white and Blue Mountains enclose Choky gorge, supposedly there is a square rock on the valley floor holding the key to a hidden treasure. When times are bad the treasure will activate the three mountains causing them to close in and form a hidden valley (Beyul) Shangri-La. below the White Mountain there are some beautiful ruins forts. Pilgrimage from Gyatsa, Yarlung and Lhasa passes their way to Lhamo Lhatso. From Choky gorge there is a climb passing by some smaller lakes up to a pass overlooking Lhamo Lhatso. Very few people continue down to the lake, as the path is very difficult to walk. To sit on the ridge for an hour or more looking for the vision in the lake is fantastic, even if you would not see any vision.
