Nam Tso Lake Trek
Nam Tso, is one of the most
famous lakes in Tibet. It is situated at an altitude of 4718 metres. It is
about 190 km north of Lhasa. It is one of the most famous lakes from the
pilgrimage point of view. In Tibetan language, "Nam" means Sky and "Tso"
means Lake. Nam Tso is the second largest saltwater lake in China and Tibet,
and is approximately 70km long and 30km wide.
Trekking across the Nyenchen
Thanglha Mountains to the pebbled shores of the holy
Nam Tso lakes takes 6 to 7 days. The trek
ends at Damzhung valley, which is situated 160 km north of Lhasa on the
Tibet-Quinghai highway. The spectacular trek climbs out of the Damzhung
valley via Largen-La (4970 m.) then descends to the mystical environment of
Tashi Do hermitage and the vast Nam Tso. From Tashi Do, we trek back to
Damzhung valley via the remote region of Nyenchen Thanglha and Kang-La (5150
m.) pass.
The best season for trekking in Nam Tso Lake
is late May to October, however you must be prepared at all times for wet
weather, snow and cold winds. It is a very remote region so we should carry
camping & kitchen equipment and provision for the entire trekking part.
