Life advice: You must come to Yamdrok Lake to see the starry sky and Milky Way at least once. It's so beautiful it will bring you to tears‼️
.
When night falls, the lake is no longer the azure mirror of the day but transforms into a reflection of the vast universe. Countless stars✨ lightly dance on the water's surface, making you feel as if you are in the Milky Way. This is the ultimate romance the universe gifts us~

🌌【Why recommend stargazing at Yamdrok Lake?】
✔️Yamdrok Lake has a pure environment with little light pollution and high atmospheric transparency, making it an excellent stargazing spot.
✔️Yamdrok Lake's altitude is 4441m, much lower than the 5200m of Everest Base Camp, making it less likely to cause altitude sickness, and the accommodation conditions are better, so your body won't suffer as much.
✔️Without the daytime crowds, you can enjoy the lake and the Milky Way in peace. If you stay at the Yamdrok Lake campsite, you can also experience both sunrise and sunset.

📸【Starry Sky Photography Tips】
1⃣️Time: The best months for shooting in the Northern Hemisphere are generally from April to September. Avoid shooting around the 15th of the lunar month.
2⃣️Composition: Remember to include some foreground to avoid monotony. The foreground can be a characteristic tent, mountain peak, vehicle, person, etc.
3⃣️Photography Equipment: It's best to use a full-frame camera, but APS-C cameras and smartphones can also work. The larger the aperture, the better. Set ISO between 1600-3200 and shutter speed around 15-25 seconds.
