YAMDROK LAKE, TIBET By Kara Frigon “Yamdrok Lake sits on the Southern Friendship Highway between Lhasa and Gyantse. At 5,000 meters above sea level, it feels like you’re touching the heavens. The sky looks like a great blue pool. White glaciers throw into relief dozens of multicolored prayer flags, yaks graze the mountainside, and the air rings with the sound of bells from nearby monasteries.”
