Exploring Bitahai Lake: A Shangri-La Hiking Adventure
Our Shangri-La adventure led us to Potatso National Park's Bitahai Lake, 35 km away and over 3500 meters high. This 159-hectare lake, 20 meters deep, is famed for its clear water and stunning mountain-forest scenery. Our hike began amidst a vibrant natural environment of grasses, groundcover, a diverse plant community, and towering trees. We admired colorful flowers, petals, and blossoms before reaching the grassland opening to Bitahai Lake. The lake's water resources mirrored the blue sky and clouds, framed by mountainous landforms often veiled in mist. We absorbed the nature before continuing through mountain and hill landscapes, spotting a deer in the daytime sun. The hike to Bitahai Lake, with its limpid water and mountainous landforms, was a tranquil escape into the natural environment.
