Namtso Lake trekking is a popular trekking route in Tibet. Namtso Lake, known as the ” Heavenly Lake” is the largest salt water lake in Tibet. Namtso Lake is located near Damxung. 4,718 meters above sea level and covering 1,900 sq km, it is the second largest saltwater lake in China.
The snow capped Mt. Nyainqentanglha, considered as the son of Namtso and leader of sacred mountains, soars up to sky beside her. Singing streams converge into the clean sapphire blue lake, which looks like a huge mirror framed and dotted with flowers. Namtso Lake is the third holiest lake in Tibet.
