喜悦的帽子姐姐April 19, 2024, Road Trip to Tibet with Parents Day 11: Lhasa - Namtso Lake - Nagqu (367 km, 5 hours driving time) Key Attractions: Namtso Lake, one of the three holy lakes of Tibet, is the highest lake in the world, and the clearest and most beautiful teardrop on Earth. 🌹Trip Itinerary: Depart from the hotel in the morning, first heading to the Namtso scenic area. Along the way, you'll see the Nyainqêntanglha Mountains. If the weather is good, the highest peak you can see is Nyainqêntanglha Peak, at 7162 meters. If you need to get out of the car to view it, be sure to move slowly. I bent over a little too much and immediately experienced altitude sickness, rushing back to the car for oxygen. After arriving at the scenic area entrance and buying tickets, you can drive over the Nagqu La Pass. After descending the mountain and arriving at the distribution center, you need to take the scenic area shuttle bus to Tashi Peninsula. There are many seagulls here, not afraid of people at all, and they even eat directly from people's hands. The Namtso Lake I encountered upon getting off the bus was a vibrant, bright blue, with a touch of icy clarity. As the sightseeing bus ventured deeper into the lake, the blue transformed, becoming a deep, rich, and melancholic hue, breathtakingly beautiful. The scenic area is at a relatively high altitude, so after taking photos, it was time to return to Damxung County as quickly as possible. From Damxung, the journey to Nagqu is a fast one via highway.

M19***50Namtso Lake is also very beautiful in winter. It looks like a huge sapphire from a distance. It is worth the trip. The itinerary is not tight and very relaxing. This is the meaning of going out for a walk, embracing nature, embracing a relaxed mood, and seeing the beautiful mountains and rivers of the motherland. The tour guide is very good at taking pictures! He also brought a folding chair with him, which is thoughtful! The music in the car is also nice! It is worth choosing!
