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.
