Tibet | Namtso The lake closest to heaven

👉Recommended reason: Namtso is one of the "Three Sacred Lakes" of Tibetan Buddhism in Tibet. The scenery is absolutely stunning, and the northern shore has unique views that are not inferior to the southern shore's Tashi Peninsula, plus you can save on entrance fees and the hassle of changing vehicles. 📍Location: Located in Tibet. 🚗Transportation: Experienced drivers can drive themselves, it takes half an hour on the mountain road, and the overall road condition is good; you can also join a small group day tour, departing at 7 AM and returning around six or seven in the evening. 👍️Must-visit spots: Nyenchen Tanglha Mountain, Nagenla Pass, and you can stop three times along the way to capture different angles, such as the waves on the shore with seagulls, the beautiful lake shoreline, and the calm lake surface reflecting clouds from a high point. 🎟️Ticket information: The northern shore is outside the scenic area, so no need for the 210 RMB ticket or changing to a scenic area vehicle. 💗Other tips: 1. Don't come right after entering Tibet, as the altitude here is over 5000 meters. Prepare oxygen and glucose in advance to alleviate altitude sickness. 2. Remember to bring your ID card, as you might be checked at the checkpoint when returning to Lhasa. 3. Be prepared for sun protection, as the UV rays are very strong. 4. Agree on the price with Tibetan locals before taking photos with yaks or other activities. 5. Check the weather forecast in advance, with a reference accuracy of 50%, as it may change from cloudy to sunny.
