After breakfast we continue our journey to Ranwu (also known as Rawu or Raog) Lake, the largest in Southeast Tibet at 3’850 meters above sea level. It contains an area of 22 square kilometers and many of the surrounding peaks are over 5’000 meters high and thus permanently covered by glaciers.

After arrival and a short rest at the “Ranwu Hotel” we either drive or hike approximately 10 km to Lhagu. This beautiful village is located on the lake’s northern shore east of the terminal moraine of Lhagu Glacier. From there we will hike a few hours to enjoy the view on the several glaciers and ice lakes. Afterwards we return to Ranwu either by car or on foot. Overnight at the “Ranwu Hotel”.

Important note: the road to Lhagu might be blocked by water, especially during the rainy season. In this case we will have to cancel the excursion to Lhagu Village and the hike to the glaciers.
