Namtso Lake Trekking Overview
About Namtso Lake Trekking:
After 3 days sightseeing in Lhasa, you will get properly acclimatized. Then you will drive to northeast to Reting monastery. This famous Gelukpa complex was originally Kampa monastery founded in the eleventh century by Dromton, the main disciple of Indian scholar-Atisha. From Reting, after a day trek to Joktsola, we will drive to Damshung-the center of marsh.
All the inhabitants here are herders. The walk to Namtso initially follows the road from Damshung. Most of the traffic consists of yak herders and horse riders. Camping at the edge of Namtso Lake will offer you the excellent views of Nianqingtangla Mountains, the sparkling water and the varieties of birds.
