Kasa Lake
卡莎错 卡萨湖
A highland lake below the Luoguoliangzi Pass on National Highway G317. Tibetans regard it as the 'Mother Lake,' and it is a stop for migratory birds, including black-necked cranes.
Kasa Lake lies between Luhuo and Garze counties, beside the G317 highway and below the Luoguoliangzi Pass. It is the largest lake in Luhuo County. The open lake is surrounded by high mountain meadows and pastures. Local Tibetans revere it as the 'Mother Lake,' and people often walk around it to make a circuit of prayer. The lake area is a wetland reserve, and in the spring and autumn migration seasons you may see black-necked cranes, bar-headed geese, and other migratory birds. There are roadside viewpoints, and 30 to 60 minutes is enough for a stop. It is about 30 km from Garze town. Do not go into the lake, and do not disturb the birds.
