点评:This is a stunning hike with epic scenery. I did it on a cold day in early May, which was partly cloudy with passing showers of gentle rain, and even sometimes hail, which was very dramatic. The advantage is that it was not crowded, and I was not boiling in the direct sun. If it was warmer, I would have liked to dip into some of the pools, but the water was quite cold. I didn’t see anyone else look the way up and only a few groups on the way back.
The hike ascends from the lake into the mountains, passing through grazing goats. After a short while you get to a beautiful monastery. After a while, you start to ascend through a beautiful river valley. It was dry when I was there. Finally you meet up with an incredibly clear stream in a dramatic white stone canyon. You hike up along that stream as the gorge narrows and you pass waterfall after waterfall. At the end, it opens up into an old forest with a gentle creek.
Keep in mind this is a wilderness trail. It is extremely well marked. There are trail markers and bright arrows every few metres and if you haven’t seen a trail marker for a few seconds, you are probably off the trail. It also has good infrastructure like steps and fences, although some of it has been worn down.
Don’t expect this to be a tourist area made for your convenience. There are some very hard parts where you have to pull yourself over rocks or concentrate to find the next trail marker. There is one part where there is a ladder washed out and you have to pull yourself up a steep slippery rock face with a rope. I was able to make it past this, but just barely. On the way down, I saw some other people turning back because that part was too difficult.
Even if you only do part of the hike, it is incredible and very rewarding. And it’s nice to enjoy a drink at the café afterwards with a view of the lake.
翻译:这是一条风景绝美的徒步路线,沿途风光令人叹为观止。我是在五月初一个寒冷的日子里走的,当时多云,不时飘着小雨,有时甚至还下了冰雹,场面十分壮观。好处是人不多,不用在烈日下暴晒。如果天气暖和些,我很想在水潭里泡一泡,可惜水温很低。上山的路上我没看到其他人,下山的路上也只遇到了几拨人。
这条徒步路线从湖边开始向上攀登,途中会经过吃草的山羊。走了一小段路后,你会到达一座美丽的寺庙。之后,你会开始沿着一条美丽的河谷向上攀登。我去的时候河谷已经干涸了。最终,你会来到一个壮观的白色岩石峡谷,那里有一条清澈见底的小溪。沿着溪流向上攀登,峡谷逐渐变窄,你会经过一个又一个瀑布。最后,你会来到一片古老的森林,一条潺潺的小溪蜿蜒流淌。
请记住,这是一条荒野徒步路线。路标非常清晰。每隔几米就有路标和醒目的箭头,如果你几秒钟没看到路标,那很可能就迷路了。这里的基础设施也不错,比如台阶和围栏,虽然有些地方已经破损了。
别指望这里是那种为了方便游客而建的旅游区。有些路段非常难走,你需要攀爬岩石,或者集中注意力寻找下一个路标。有一处梯子被冲毁了,你需要用绳子把自己拉上一段陡峭湿滑的岩壁。我勉强通过了那里。下山的时候,我看到有些人因为那段路太难而折返了。
即使你只走了其中一段,这段徒步之旅也令人难忘,非常值得。之后在咖啡馆里喝杯饮料,欣赏湖景,也是一种享受。
