Namtso, known as the "Heavenly Lake", is
the largest saltwater lake in Tibet. some 4,590 metres above sea level, it is situated at the edge of the
severely-weathered Chang Thang Plateau to the north of Lhasa. The loop walk across the Nyanchen
Thang-la mountains to the pebbled shores of Namtso takes 7-8 days.
Our Trek starts at the
Damshung valley via Lagaen-la, 5,180m above sea level, and then to the mystical environs of Tash-Do
heritage and the vast Namtso. The final leg of the loop enters a remote region of the Nyanchen Thang-la
range. We have to cross the Kong-la pass 5,240m above sea level, and wind through the deep glacial
valley on the return to Damshung area. Namtso is also inhabited by large flocks of birds both resident and
migratory. Then we drive to Reting Monastery, to Drigong Monastery and return to Lhasa.
