Basongcuo Lake

Download poster

Basongcuo is an alpine glacier lake surrounded by forests, villages and ridges. Tashi Island and Cuozong Temple form part of the living sacred landscape. Regular tours only show a portion of the larger valley and trail system. Water bodies, forests and settlements should be understood together: the lake is not an isolated postcard, nor are the islands, temples and villages in the center of the lake a backdrop that can be photographed without restrictions.
