Namtso

Walking the Sky Road, encountering the heavenly lake Namtso once in a lifetime at an altitude of 4718M. Tibet | Namtso The Namtso Lake is really tremendously beautiful. No filter needed, the original camera can capture it directly. The white clouds, snow mountains, and blue lake water are very impressive. Seeing it with your own eyes is even better than what the phone captures. Lucky ones who go there will find that the weather is super good on that day. Ticket: Bought a package ticket for 408/person, which includes the ticket + sightseeing car + portable oxygen.

2023-10-03 Today is to go to Namtso. Arrived at the foot of Namtso, there is a checkpoint where you need to buy tickets and car tickets, each person more than 200 yuan. Arrived at the visitor center, then take their car to the Zaxi Peninsula of Namtso. There is no ticket from Bange County to Namtso. The tickets are collected by the villagers of the county, or it can be said that they are collected by Damxung County. We did not enter the visitor center and walked along the provincial road. Passed Nima Village, Shengxiang Tianmen has been sealed and cannot be entered. Today's lake tour, finally find a place to camp, 9 o'clock Milky Way is above the head, it is difficult to shoot, took a few photos and then rest.

Do not trust online travel companions for Tibet! Here's some advice from my experience for those who are visiting Tibet for the first time. ‼️ Many online companions are actually travel scams! They trick you into booking a tour and then make excuses for not being able to go... I met my travel companions in a group, and since we met in person and played together, at least it was real. You must bring 🧳 ✅ Glucose and down jackets, so do not underestimate the weather in Tibet. Regardless of whether it's April, May, June, or July, have your down jacket ready. ✅ Personally, I think it's optional to bring ibuprofen. For minor altitude sickness headaches, you can take headache powder, but for severe cases, you can't rely on headache powder, you need to go to the hospital, so no ibuprofen. You can bring: cold medicine, diarrhea treatment, gas relief, indigestion treatment, motion sickness pills. ✅ Bring a power bank, it's essential for going out every day, so it's best to bring two for alternating use. The same goes for hats, have two to switch between. My expenses ‼️ I went during the off-season, and my expenses were around 7,000 yuan, including travel costs, photoshoots, accommodation, joining a tour group, food and drink, and souvenirs. ‼️ Souvenir suggestions For personal consumption/gifting: yak jerky, milk flakes, butter tea, highland barley wine, sweet tea, Tibetan chicken, highland barley egg crisp, yak milk strips. Local must-tries: yak yogurt, fresh milk, yak meat hotpot, Tibetan noodles, sweet tea, Nyingchi stone pot chicken, Tibetan pork, Tibetan chicken, milk residue buns, pickled vegetable noodle pieces, cold noodles. Some points about attractions 1️⃣ Remember to book in advance for the Potala Palace! Otherwise, you can't get in! 2️⃣ Don't forget your ID card! Otherwise, you won't be able to go anywhere in Lhasa, and it would be as if you came to Lhasa for nothing... You'll have to get a temporary one, don't ask me how I know 😭 3️⃣ The post office in the sky is not far from the Potala Palace! Don't miss it, family. It's quite meaningful. You can visit it while going to the Potala Palace. 4️⃣ Namtso when it's frozen is also beautiful, Yamdrok Lake is beautiful, Mount Namcha Barwa is cool, and Mount Everest is cool, you must go! You must take lots and lots of photos! Take hundreds! Points about joining a tour group 1️⃣ It's best to join a tour group for your first trip to Tibet! Tibet is a province, and if you want to go to Mount Everest, you must join a tour group, as self-driving is too far! Over six hundred kilometers could be terrible if you get altitude sickness. 2️⃣ Refuse shopping tours! Refuse low-price tours! Be careful not to be treated like a piglet. 3️⃣ Make sure you understand the itinerary when joining a tour group, the first thing to check in the contract is if there's anything wrong with the itinerary! The second thing is to check the accommodations and meals. Conclusion I was very afraid of altitude sickness for my first trip to Tibet, but once I was in Lhasa, I realized that altitude sickness wasn't as scary as I thought. Altitude sickness really varies from person to person, so everyone doesn't need to be too nervous about it.

Every year when winter comes, many people in my social circle go to Hemu in Xinjiang, but I prefer to travel in the opposite direction. Welcome to Namtso in winter Tibet, stepping into the pure white world at the end of the world❄️ This is my third time to Namtso, and also my first time here in winter. Indeed, Tibet in winter is colder than usual, the oxygen content in the plateau is lower, and many people avoid this season. 🌊At the lakeside at an altitude of 4700 meters, feeling the level 7 strong wind blowing in my face, looking at the pure white ice and snow world in front of me, and the Nyenchen Tanglha mountain range on the opposite side, 'Body in hell, eyes in paradise' is the perfect description for Namtso in winter. 💡In order to attract more tourists in this season, all A-level scenic spots in Tibet have a free admission policy, including the Potala Palace, Namtso, etc. So actually, this is also a good time to travel to Tibet in reverse, after all, during the peak season, 800 yuan might not even buy a ticket to the Potala Palace. Indeed, those willing to endure what others cannot, can see the sights others can only dream of🏔️ When I drove myself on the road here, the real snow country city began to appear before my eyes. 📍Namtso is located in Damxung County 🚗It takes 3h to drive from Lhasa to Namtso (in snowy weather, allow for 3-4 hours of travel) 🎫Due to the free admission policy in winter, you only need to buy a round-trip sightseeing bus ticket for 85 yuan at the Namtso Tourist Distribution Center to visit Namtso (mainly to Tashi Peninsula) 💡The best time to visit is to arrive at noon, because the sightseeing bus to Tashi Peninsula takes 1h, the plateau weather is changeable, the weather is relatively stable at noon, the light is good and it's warmer ❄️The altitude of Namtso is 4700 meters, it is not recommended for friends who have just arrived in Lhasa to go there, it is suitable to be arranged in the later itinerary, and the wind in winter is really very strong, so it is necessary to be well-prepared for warmth, luckily I wore a very thick parka down jacket that day! But being young means being fearless, how cold can it be, we are still passionate, go and embrace all the beautiful scenery, Tibet really has the power to heal everything, friends, have a pleasant journey!!!

The Tibetan name 'Namtso' means 'Heavenly Lake'. Namtso is the highest large lake in the world, as well as the second largest lake in Tibet·China, and also the third largest saltwater lake in China. The lake surface is at an altitude of 4718 meters, with a maximum depth of 120 meters. 🌟Highlights: The lake is located in Damxung·Lhasa, and its shimmering blue surface is very charming. Of course, the snow and ice also look great. The southwest shore of the lake is the continuous Nyenchen Tanglha Mountains, where the majestic snowy mountains and the sacred lake complement each other. Namtso is one of the 'three sacred lakes' of Tibet. It is the first holy lake of the ancient Bon religion of Zhang Zhung, and one of the famous Buddhist holy places. Every year during the Saga Dawa Festival on the fifteenth day of the fourth month of the Tibetan calendar, as well as during the Year of the Sheep, monks and lay followers make pilgrimages to Namtso to circumambulate the lake and recite scriptures. ✅ The conventional way to visit Namtso is usually a day trip. Many travel agencies in the Lhasa urban area offer this project, generally departing in the morning, arriving in 3-4 hours, playing by the lake for 2-3 hours, and then returning the same way. If you want to stay overnight by the lake, you can charter a car or find a carpool in Lhasa city. The route is the same as the day trip, allowing you to enjoy the freedom of the itinerary. Staying overnight by the lake, you can watch the sunrise, sunset, and gaze at the vast starry sky at night. How can you miss such a beautiful scene? 📍Detailed address: Near Tashido Monastery, Damxung County, Lhasa City, Tibet Autonomous Region Suitable seasons for visiting: June to September 🕙Opening hours: 06:00~18:00 💰Ticket price: 120.00 yuan

It's not its fault that it's so beautiful, this is Tibet's Namtso. Namtso is one of the 'three holy lakes' in Tibet. It is the first divine lake of the ancient Bon religion, and one of the famous Buddhist holy places. Wherever you look, there is pure blue, boundless vastness, sacred and flawless. Being here, you can let go of everything and just be yourself. If blue is a synonym for beauty, it must be describing here. 'In this land reserved by God, even time freezes...' When you come to Namtso, you will experience what it feels like to have a sudden enlightenment! It is located in the central part of the Tibet Autonomous Region, the second largest lake in Tibet, and the third largest saltwater lake in China! Located on the 'roof of the world', it presents the sacred and pure beauty to the world without reservation! To the south of the lake, there are the year-round snow-capped Nyenchen Tanglha Mountains, and to the north and west, there are gentle highland hills and a vast lakeshore. The heavenly lake is like a giant mirror, embedded in the grasslands of northern Tibet! Here, surrounded by snow-capped mountains, with changing clouds, unlike the turbulent sea, the rushing waterfall. Namtso, just lies there quietly, tranquility is her posture, the troubles of the world have nothing to do with her..... Such grand yet tranquil beauty only exists in the snowy mountain holy lake - Namtso! Namtso, is one of the 'three holy lakes' in Tibet, and also a must-visit spot for Tibet travel. It is also known as the 'lake closest to heaven'. The azure lake, blue sky and white clouds, scattered yaks, distant snow-capped mountains, this is Namtso, a holy place to purify the soul. Ticket price: 120 yuan, taking a photo with the yaks in the scenic area is 50 yuan per photo (you can bargain, depending on your bargaining ability). Precautions: !The most important thing to pay attention to when traveling to Tibet is altitude sickness, especially in Namtso, where the altitude reaches over 5000, it is easy to have altitude sickness, it is recommended to bring medicine for altitude sickness. !The wind here is particularly strong, it can make your head ache, thick clothes and hats are necessary, be prepared for wind protection. And because the light is strong, sunglasses are also necessary, otherwise you can't open your eyes, and you need to be prepared for sun protection to prevent sunburn. !Choose a good time to travel, the weather greatly affects the beauty of Namtso, although the scenery is not bad on cloudy days, but Namtso on a sunny day is really beautiful! The best time to go to Namtso is from July to September. !When taking pictures, be careful not to take pictures of the local Tibetans and cattle and sheep, because they may charge you. And when taking a photo with a yak, keep a safe distance first, because you might get kicked.

In this world, there are always some places that can touch the deepest emotions of people's hearts, and Tibet is undoubtedly such a place. It's not just because it's the roof of the world, because of the world-renowned Potala Palace, because there are the highest and most snow-capped mountains in the world, because you can enjoy breathtaking natural scenery there, but also because there is the freedom and faith that countless people yearn for. The starry sky in Tibet is so deep, the brilliance of the sunrise on the golden mountain is so dazzling, and the colors of the sunset are so gorgeous. And those high mountains and lakes, whether it's Serling Tso, Namtso, or Yamdrok Lake and Mapang Yumco, are all picturesque, so beautiful that they take your breath away. Here, there is not only picturesque natural scenery, but also the most and most devout faith in the world. In this fast-paced society, people often lose themselves, and the purity and tranquility of Tibet, like a clear stream, can wash away the dust in people's hearts. However, why must one go to Tibet once in a lifetime? Perhaps everyone's answer is different. Some people are looking for their lost selves, some are looking for lost love, some are trying to escape the pressure of reality, and some are looking for a spiritual sustenance. But no matter what the reason, we are all in pursuit of that freedom and purity. We will tell ourselves, I want to go to Tibet, I want to see the world, I want to find an old friend under the snow mountain. When you pack your bags and step on this mysterious land, you will find that your heart becomes more peaceful, and you will feel that you are so harmonious with nature. You will re-recognize yourself, you will find your direction, you will understand what you really want. In Tibet, you will find that unbound freedom, you will find that inner peace and tranquility. So, no matter why you go to Tibet, no matter what you are going to face, please take this step bravely. Because only you can find your own answer, only you can find your own direction. Being born as a human, we all just want that unbound freedom, so, set off, go to Tibet, and re-recognize yourself on the journey.

Just came back from Tibet, let me tell the truth...||Tibet is really, really, really beautiful! But the most important thing about the journey is to plan well❗❗ Friends who are going to Tibet soon can refer to the following👇🏻 . 1. You must plan ahead before going to Tibet, otherwise you will spend the whole trip looking for guides, wasting time. 2. You can budget a little lower, but you can't be really poor, after all, it's a place where even breathing costs money. 3. If you have altitude sickness upon arrival, go directly to the clinic or hospital for oxygen and medication, remember not to think that a good night's sleep will cure it, the earlier you go, the better! The rest of the journey will be more enjoyable~ 4. If you have enough time, you can choose to take a sleeper train to Tibet, never choose a hard seat! It's really uncomfortable! Rest well to avoid altitude sickness! 5. After arriving in Lhasa, go back to the hotel and rest, don't over-exercise or walk, don't wash your hair or take a bath. Don't drink alcohol! Drinking alcohol can easily cause altitude sickness! 6. Sweet tea is sweet, butter tea is salty, some friends may not be used to butter tea, taste carefully 7. Don't rush your itinerary! You can stay in Lhasa for a day or two to acclimate before going around. 8. Sunscreen! Sunscreen! Be sure to pay attention to sunscreen! The UV rays are too strong! 9. There are Tibetan mastiffs, lambs and yaks for photo ops by the Yanghu Lake, all of which are charged, (remember to negotiate the price with the herders in advance) 10. No matter what season you go to Mount Everest, you must prepare warm clothes, down jackets, storm jackets are all okay, it's really cold up there (if you want to see the stars, you can stay in the big bed at the Everest base camp, if you are afraid of altitude sickness, you can stay in the guesthouse below) 11. Tibet's famous attractions are basically concentrated in Lhasa, Nyingchi and Shigatse, these places are far apart, if you don't drive, it's recommended to charter a car or join a tour group, it will be much more convenient 12. Be sure to book the group tour in advance, find a reliable travel agency (sign a formal tourism contract, Tibetan license plate AL tourist car), if you want to have a good time, it's recommended to join a pure play small group, although the price is a bit higher. · 🚗About the itinerary I played in Lhasa for 2 days by myself, went to check in at the attractions close to Lhasa city, in the middle I joined a local pure play group for a 5-day small loop of Everest+Yanghu Lake+Namco, which is quite recommended · 🙋🏻‍♀️The group is a standard cost-effective group, not bad, not particularly good, after all, playing for 5 days in this peak season only cost more than 1000 yuan, and it's the kind that includes car, accommodation, meals and tickets❗The cost performance is really high❗If you want to join a quality group, it might be more expensive, ours is mainly for cost-effectiveness and beautiful scenery haha · D1: Free travel in Lhasa city (D2-D5 with the group) D2: Lhasa→Yanghu Lake→Karola Glacier→Shigatse D3: Shigatse→Gawula Pass→Everest Base Camp D4: Everest Base Camp→No. 59 Glacier→Shigatse D5: Shigatse→Nanmulin→Wild Hot Spring→Jegangri Mountain→Cedonglacuo→Selincuo→Bange D6: Bange→Bamucuo→Namco→Lhasa D7: Send postcards, pack up and go home .

DAY 1: Today, I set out from Lhasa, embarking on the Yunnan-Tibet Highway. I passed by Namtso and went to see this beautiful sacred lake. 10 years ago, I had seen it from a different perspective. Yet, no matter the angle, it remains stunning! I arrived in Nagqu after 9 PM, had a bowl of beef noodles (I've lost count of how many I've had). Then continued on, taking National Highway 317, through rain mixed with snow, until reaching Suoxian past 3 AM, and that's where I stayed for the night. DAY 2: Today's journey from Baqing to Qingding was filled with endless beautiful scenery. I bought a ticket to enter the Bujia Snow Mountain Glacier, but I felt it was unnecessary, as you can see Bujia Snow Mountain along the way. The views on National Highway 317 are much more beautiful than those on 318. Indeed, the most beautiful scenery is in Tibet! DAY 3: Today's visit to the Zhuzi Temple was truly a surprise, despite the bumpy dirt road winding up the mountain. The moment I saw Zhuzi Temple, my eyes were filled with wonder—how could there be such a magnificent yet delicate temple! I also did my first kora, following the pilgrims around the mountain, a sacred and joyful experience. Arriving in Chamdo, I tried Tibetan beer with dinner. It didn't taste special, just wanted to give it a try. After dinner, I walked to the Tea Horse Square. Chamdo is really a thriving city. Here, at my last stop in Tibet, I bought some yak milk strips to take back. DAY 3: This morning's breakfast in Chamdo was beef noodles, the last bowl I would have in Tibet. We left Chamdo in the morning, didn't visit any attractions on the way, and it was already night by the time we reached Meili Snow Mountain. Marko's energy is extraordinary! Cola was especially well-behaved today, taking the initiative to sit in the back seat with us. Upon reaching Yunnan, we had a rib hotpot, but I still don't think the ribs taste good at all! DAY 4: I never expected to see Meili Snow Mountain again, this trip really revisited many places. There was also Feilai Temple, Jinsha Bay Great Bend, and the Tower of Towers, among others. Maybe because we've spent so much time together, Cola has been sticking to me and Xiaohuihui these past two days. Finally arrived in Lijiang, everything has changed. Yunnan is indeed much richer than Tibet. Today is Sister Juan's birthday, I ordered a bouquet of flowers for her. We all gathered together for stone pot chicken and barbecue, it was really joyful, even the birthday cake was delicious. I also tried Songga beer, tonight I completely relaxed!

Tibet group tour's last day, was utterly amazed by Lake Namtso I went on April 1st, the ice on Lake Namtso had already started to melt, and you couldn't walk into the lake anymore. Standing by the lake, you could occasionally hear the sound of the ice cracking 🎫 About the ticket: The tour guide took us on a route that didn't charge a fee, and upon asking, it was through Bangor ☘️ About the attraction ✅ The way to tour is to drive around the lake ✅ You can stay in Damxung County or go back and forth from Lhasa on the same day ✅ At the lakeside viewing platform, you can ride horses and hold lambs for photos, horse riding 💰30r/person, holding lambs 💰5r/person
