Taruo Lake

Taro Tso is a freshwater lake on the northern side of the Gangdise mountains in western Tibet. Its deep waters lie at an elevation of about 4,566 metres and receive streams fed by snow and glacier melt. The Buduo River flows alongside the Lunggar mountains before entering the lake. Taro Tso forms part of a chain of inland waters: it can discharge through the Jiabo River towards the lower salt basin of Zabuye Caka.
