Lake Namtso, Tibet, China
4.5 (311 reviews) Friday: 8:00 AM - 7:00 PM Spent Ranking #1 in Damxung County Bodies of Water
Peaceful, calm, & beautiful
Namtso was born in the Paleogene age, as a result of Himalayan tectonic plate movements. The lake lies at an elevation of 4,718 m (15,479 ft), and has a surface area of 1,920 km2 (740 sq mi). This salt lake is the largest lake in the Tibet Autonomous Region. However, it is not the largest lake on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. That title belongs to Qinghai Lake (more than twice the size of Namtso); which lies more than 1,000 km (620 mi) to the north-east in Qinghai.

Namtso Lake
One of the most beautiful lake in Tibet, its good idea to drive around and it takes about 2 days with some trekking and some driving.

Lovely Heavenly Lake
We were lucky to have good weather upon reaching this largest salt lake in Tibet. This place is stunning with the mountains as the backdrop. Nice to stroll along the lake for at least an hour. A must visit when in Tibet.
