Tangra Yumco

Tangra Yumco is a long salt lake in a mountain basin on the northern side of the Gangdise range. Its blue waters and the nearby sacred mountain Targo form a landscape revered by followers of the Bon tradition. The lake is associated with Dangra Gyalmo and with the memory of Zhang Zhung, the ancient kingdom of western Tibet, whose fortunes were linked in sacred geography to those of the lake.
