Trip Highlights: Lhasa Namtso Join-in Group Tour includes an excursion to Namtso Lake in the small group trip after exploring Lhasa. Namtso Lake, the second largest saltwater lake in Tibet, is 250km northwest of Lhasa. Namtso Lake is over 70km long, reaches a width of 30km and is 35m at its deepest point. It is one of the three Holy Lakes in Tibet. The Nyenchen Tangula Range with peaks of more than 7000m towers over the lake. When the ice melts in late April, the Namtso Lake is a miraculous shade of turquoise and there are magnificent views of the nearby mountains. The wide opened spaced dotted with the tents of local nomads are intoxicating. A join-in group tour of Lhasa and Lake Namtso will show you Tibet’s culture glory and natural beauty at the same time!
