Once nine monasteries were set up around the holy lake to facilitate religious cultivation. The lake is a holy lake to Buddhism, Hinduism and the local Bon faith. Countless of pilgrims of Buddhists, Hindus and Bonists trek thousands of miles to pay their pilgrimage to the holy lake. There are many beautiful stories about the sacred, holy lake. Even plants around the lake and fish in the lake are deemed as magical medicines.
Pilgrims turning prayer wheels, circumambulate the lake to show their piety.
Every summer, pilgrims from Tibet, India and Nepal cluster to make circumambulation and have bath in the lake. They will bring their family and friends water of the lake as precious present. However since it is named Ghost Lake a weird feeling rise when one stands beside of the lake. Copyright 1999 Tibet Trip. All rights reserved.
