Lake Yamdrok Yamtok

 Lake Yamdrok Yumtso : One of the three largest lakes of Tibet, lies about a hundred kilometers' distance to the southwest of Lhasa, is within Langkamu county, with an area of 638 square kilometers and a coastal line of 250 kilometers. The deepest point is the lake 60 meters. To the interior of the lake ten or so hilly islands stand independently which give homes to flocks of wild ducks. A lot of colorful ducks and geese can be often seen swimming in the lake. There is also plenty of natural fodder for fish in the lake. The lake has a fish reserve of about 300 million kgs. That is why it is called "the Fish Store of Tibet". The coast of the lake is an ideal pasture.
