reaches of Bahe River, it is a famous holy lake of the Nyingma
Sect.
The lake is surrounded by mountains and enjoys a temperate
climate. At the feet of the snow-clapped mountains, the
vegetation is luxuriant and the trees of black maples, birches,
pines, cypresses and azaleas connected each other to form a
world of greenery. Basum Tso is about 18 kilometers long and has
an average width of about 1.5 kilometers. The deepest point of
the lake reaches 120 meters. The lake surface does not ice up in
