On
the old road between Gyantse (4040m) and Lhasa, the dazzling Yamdroktso
(4441m) can be seen from the summit of the Kamba-la pass (5030m ). In
clear weather, the lake is a fabulous shade of deep turquoise. Leaving
Yamdroktso is as spectacular as arriving, since you have to cross the
5045m Karola, with its awesome roadside views of the Nojin Kangtsang
Glacier.
