Trek across the Nyanchen Thang-la Mountains of Tibet

Tibet tours main page

Known as the "Heavenly Lake", Namtso is the largest saltwater lake in Tibet. Found in an elevation of some 4,590 meters above sea level, it is situated at the edge of the barren and wind-swept Chang Thang Plateau noth of Lhasa. The trek leads across the Nyanchen Thang-la Mountains to the pebbled shores of Lake  Namtso, inhabited by large flocks of birds, both resident and migratory, to the mystical environs of Tashi-Dor. En route back to Lhasa we visit the Reting Monastery, the seat of the Reting Rinpoche, then the Dregung Monastery, constructed on a sheer cliff-face and offering a magnificent sweeping view of the valley below. Next day it's on to the stunning Ganden monastery site, then back to Lhasa. But the tour does not end there, from Lhasa we continue to Shigatse, visit Tashilhumpo Monastery, then go on to Gyangtse and the Palkhor Monastery. Finally, driving past the Lake Yamdrok we return to the capital completing our grand tour of the heart of Tibet.
