It has an elegant view, surrounded by snow capped mountains. Visitors would like to list the lake as a must go destination while going to Shigatse from Lhasa via the south route.Like mountains, lakes are considered sacred by Tibetan people, the principle being that they are the dwelling places of protective deities and therefore invested with special spiritual powers. Yamdrok Lake is one of four particularly holy lakes, thought to be divinatory; everyone from the Dalai Lama to local villagers makes pilgrimages there. It is considered sacred as one of the four `Great Wrathful Lakes` guarded by the goddess Dorje Gegkyi Tso.
