Ptso Lake

Ptso Lake is considered sacred by the local Monpa tribe. Legends say that the lake was formed by a powerful lama who struck his staff into the ground, creating a spring that eventually expanded into the lake. Historically, the lake has been a pilgrimage site for the Monpa people, who believe it possesses spiritual powers. Its remote location and challenging terrain kept it relatively hidden from the outside world for centuries. More recently, Ptso Lake has gained popularity as a tourist destination, drawing visitors with its stunning natural beauty and peaceful atmosphere. However, efforts are being made to maintain its ecological balance and preserve its cultural significance.
