Lower Dolpa Trekking 26 Days |
Dolpo are
either Bon or Kagyupa, although there seems to be a trend to convert
to Nyingmapa Phoksumdo Lake The lake is spectacular, it is 4.8km
long, 1.8km wide and said to be 650m deep. It is known for its aquamarine
color a greenish blue similar to a special Tibetan turquoise .There
is no aquatic life in the lake, which helps to make the waters brilliantly
clear. If one tosses a rock in, one can watch it for a long time
as it sinks to the bottom. According to legend, Phoksumdo Lake was
formed by a spiteful female demon.
In Buddhist Himalaya, David Snellgrove
recounts how the demon was fleeing from the saint Padmasambhava
and gave the village people a turquoise after they promised not
to tell that she had passed by. Padmasambhava turned the turquoise
into a lump of dung, which upset so much the local people and they
revealed the demon's whereabouts. She, in return caused a flood.
It is said you can see the remains of a village below the lake's
surface. |
