Gurula Lake

Guru La Tso, nestled deep in the Chalatuogang Snow Mountain in Cuomei County, Shannan City, is a high-altitude lake at nearly 4,800 meters above sea level, renowned for its clear, azure waters and unique natural shape. Because the lake’s outline, appearing almost heart-shaped, is nestled among mountain gorges, locals and tourists alike often call it “Heart Lake,” a name that adds to its unique charm. Hidden among snow-capped mountains and peaks, Guru La Tso’s waters are a deep sapphire blue, surrounded by vast alpine meadows, shrubs, and diverse alpine vegetation, making it an ideal destination for photographers and attracting numerous hikers seeking to experience the magnificent natural landscape. The beauty of Guru La Tso lies in its contrast: such a gentle and romantic form, yet situated at such a rugged and desolate altitude. This awe-inspiring experience, measured only by footsteps, makes every visitor feel that the journey was worthwhile.
