Namtso

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.

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.

Getting There - spend the night in Damxung/Dangxiong or Lhasa/Lasa 🏯 Attractions - Namtso Lake / Lake Nam / Tengri Nor 🏞 Note! Even in summer, the altititude of this Lake can make the entire area quite cold, so bring a jacket and a rain coat too - as it's quite susceptible to weather changes. 🏔☀️🌧 Also, check with your tour guide if the bus tickets are included to the Lake. 🏞 Lake Namtso is the largest Lake in Tibet (AR), it is a giant saltwater lake. You can see how pristine it is for miles from the lovely turquoise blue colour. 🔵 around the island are various locals trading their wares, and selling noodles that you can feed to the local birds. 🐦 #tibet #saltwaterlake

📆2023-09-17 Sunday 21st day of the Tibet self-drive tour 🚙Itinerary: Lhasa—Namtso—Damxung The weather forecast shows that the weather at Namtso might deteriorate this afternoon, so we skipped the hotel breakfast and set off at 7:30 to hit the road. 9:40, passing by the viewing platform service area—Nyainqêntanglha Mountains. 📖Knowledge points: Nyainqêntanglha Mountains and Tanggula Mountains, two different things‼️ ①Different meanings of the names 🔸Tanggula Mountains: In Tibetan, it means 'mountains on the plateau'. 🔸Nyainqêntanglha Mountains: In Tibetan, it means 'the efficacious god of the grasslands'. In Tibetan mythology, Nyainqêntanglha Mountains and Namtso Lake are a pair of lovers in a life-and-death romance, and are very efficacious sacred mountains and lakes. ②Different geographical locations 🔸Tanggula Mountains: Located in the northeastern part of Tibet, bordering Qinghai Province. 🔸Nyainqêntanglha Mountain Range: It is the dividing line of the three major regions of Tibet, dividing Tibet into Northern, Southern, and Southeastern Tibet. ③Different altitudes 🔸Tanggula Mountains: Most peaks are around 5000-6000 meters. 🔸Nyainqêntanglha Mountains: Higher, with most peaks generally above 6000 meters. ④Different levels of fame 🔸Tanggula Mountains: More famous. One of the world's eight famous mountains and one of China's ten famous mountains. Its geographical location is more important, being the source of the famous Three Rivers (Yangtze River, Nu River, and Lancang River). 🔸Nyainqêntanglha Mountains: More inclined towards religious significance, recognized as a sacred mountain in Tibetan Buddhism. 📍Namtso The second largest lake in Tibet, and the third largest saltwater lake in China. In Tibetan, it means 'heavenly lake', and is one of the 'three sacred lakes' of Tibet. Deep blue waters, azure sky. White clouds floating, seagulls resting, yaks strolling. The vast expanse of the lake and the long blue sky reflect each other, as if heaven and earth are embraced within the lake. 💰Ticket: 110 🚌Sightseeing bus: 100 🐮Yak: 20 The scenery is really beautiful, but the commercial atmosphere in the scenic area is too strong. You are stopped 50 kilometers away from the scenic area and must buy a ticket, and it is completely impossible to view Namtso from afar. There are many disputes at the entrance, and even people just passing by are not allowed in. The price of the sightseeing bus ticket is also a subject of complaint. The management aspect indeed makes people feel bad. Fortunately, the magnificent lake waters make the trip worthwhile. 📍Damxung Staying overnight in Damxung, at an altitude of 4200, to acclimatize to the altitude.

Namtso, known as the 'Heavenly Lake,' is one of the three holy lakes in Tibet. The winter Namtso is even more breathtakingly beautiful. The lake is covered with a crystal-clear blue layer of ice, reflecting the vast pure white snow mountains. The extreme match of blue and white, and the ice pushing spectacle is magnificent. All of this can heal you! Admission is free until March 15, 2024, and the round-trip bus fare for the sightseeing area is 85 yuan. The lake's altitude is 4718m, and the recommended visiting time is between 11-15 o'clock when the weather is relatively stable at noon, the lighting is good, and it's warmer. The photo fee is 10 yuan for a lamb, 50 yuan for a yak, and 50 yuan for a horse ride one way. Winter Namtso Strategy: 1. The temperature at Namtso is much lower than in Lhasa, especially in the morning and evening, so dress warmly! 2. The altitude here is a bit high, so go after your body has adapted, and just bring a small oxygen bottle. 3. The wind is strong, remember to wear a windproof coat, and don't forget your scarf, gloves, and hat. 4. Sun protection is a must, as the ultraviolet radiation on the plateau is super strong even in winter! 5. In deep winter, the lake freezes, and some ice surfaces are very thin and will break, so definitely pay attention to safety and wear anti-slip shoes. 6. Winter road conditions are more complex, self-driving is not recommended, safety first. Winter Namtso 6-Day Route: 1. Lhasa-Basum Co-Segila Pass-Lulang Forest Sea-Lulang 2.

At an altitude of about 5000 meters on the Tibetan Plateau There is a magical place called 'Nam Co' Here, you can see the sky perfectly blending with the lake surface The dark blue lake water seems to dissolve all worries The distant snow-capped mountains cast clear reflections on the lake, giving a sense of time travel Standing by the lake, watching the seagulls glide freely The cold lake water washes over your feet, as if baptizing from within Close your eyes, listen to your heartbeat, as if returning to the original ocean 📍Location: Namtso Protection Area in Tibet (located in Damxung County) 🚘It takes about 2 and a half hours to drive from Lhasa, the first part is on the highway, and then you start to circle up the mountain when you reach Damxung County Follow the navigation to the main entrance, but actually, it's still dozens of kilometers away from the lake, you need to drive around the mountain to the tourist center If you enter the Tashi Peninsula scenic area, you buy a ticket as usual, if not, tell the staff you are going to Bangor County, where you can visit Nam Co for free (this route is recommended for self-driving friends, as you can drive around the lake) 🎫Ticket: 210/person + sightseeing car 🐘Holy Elephant Gate: Due to environmental protection issues, it is temporarily permanently closed... 🆓Free viewing and check-in point Navigate to Bangor County, keep driving straight along the road, about 20-30 minutes away from the tourist center by car, you will see the free viewing platform (with many tire tracks, easy to find!) 👗Recommended attire It is suggested to wear bright colors, especially red dresses which are very photogenic The wind is strong by the lake, so you can match your outfit with a hat🧢 and a shawl🧣 ✅tips 1⃣️You will pass a pass at an altitude of 5200 meters on the way up the mountain, where you can have a distant view of Nam Co, don't get too excited🙅‍♀️don't exercise vigorously🙅, this is where many people are prone to altitude sickness 2⃣️The mountain road is quite narrow, be careful when turning and meeting other vehicles‼️ 3⃣️Prepare some slices of bread🍞, if you're lucky, you can feed the seagulls~ 4⃣️Beware of mosquitoes‼️ Nam Co

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!!!

I won't, I haven't. For me, the most indispensable experience in traveling is comfort: including what the body endures and what the eyes see. Before setting off, I compared the difficulty of departing from Lhasa to visit the Holy Elephant Gate and just going to the Tashi Peninsula: 💠 Holy Elephant Gate: Altitude 4700 meters; An 8-hour drive, even if you set off early in the morning, you won't arrive until evening; If you stay overnight on the way, you can only choose between simple lakeside guesthouses or tents; The road conditions are poor, with the last 50 kilometers being washboard roads; Tickets must be booked three days in advance; You can check in at the popular Elephant Stone photo spot (you need to climb up yourself), and gaze at the distant Nyenchen Tanglha Mountains; 💠 Tashi Peninsula: Altitude 4700 meters; A 3-hour drive, allowing for a round trip to Lhasa within the same day; You can stay in the best hotel in Damxung County and enter the scenic area early the next morning to avoid the peak of the crowds; The road conditions are good; Tickets can be bought upon arrival; You can't see the popular Elephant Stone, but you can get a close view of the Nyenchen Tanglha Mountains; In Tibet, comfort is relative. After considering my physical condition, tolerance for hardship, and travel desires, I chose to give up on the Holy Elephant Gate. Therefore, when I didn't spend too much time and energy on exhausting travel; when I could rest in the best hotel in Damxung County instead of sleeping in a lakeside tent dormitory; when I was lucky enough to catch good weather, and even if it was cloudy, I had ample time to wait for it to clear up; when I saw the Namtso Lake waters that looked like gems from afar and like jade up close, as well as the sacred Nyenchen Tanglha Mountains, I felt very fulfilled and had no regrets.

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 .

|Never go there, because once you do, you won't want to come back. Nam Co, located in the central part of the Tibet Autonomous Region, is one of the three sacred lakes of Tibet (Mapam Yumco, Yamdrok Lake, and Nam Co). It is the second largest lake in Tibet, with a surface elevation of 4,718 meters, situated between Dangxiong County and Baingoin County on the southeastern border of Nagqu City, 240 kilometers away from Lhasa. 'Nam Co' is Tibetan, and its Mongolian name is 'Tenggeri Hai', both meaning 'Heavenly Lake'. Nam Co is the first sacred lake of the ancient Bon religion of Zhangzhung, and one of the famous Buddhist holy places. To the south of Nam Co lies the year-round snow-covered Nyenchen Tanglha Mountains, while to the north and west are the highland hills and vast lakeshores. The southeastern part is the main peak of the Nyenchen Tanglha Mountains, which soars into the clouds with perennial snow. The gentle rolling highland hills nestle on the north side, and the vast grasslands surround the lake. The Heavenly Lake, like a huge precious mirror, is inlaid on the grasslands of northern Tibet. Departing from Lhasa, driving across the northern Tibetan grasslands, along the Qinghai-Tibet Highway towards Nam Co, one can gaze at the main peak of Nyenchen Tanglha from a distance, with an elevation of 7,162 meters, passing through the Nagqu La mountain pass (photos 1, 2, 3), and arriving at the Tashi Peninsula of Nam Co three hours later (photos 4-11 are of the lakeside of the Tashi Peninsula). Against the vast and distant backdrop of blue sky and white clouds, facing the rippling and sparkling beauty of the sacred lake, with the majestic Nyenchen Tanglha Mountains in the background. The Tashi Peninsula is located at the southeastern end of Nam Co Lake, extending northward into the lake, and is a peninsula of about 10 square kilometers made of limestone. In the middle is a small hill several tens of meters high, and at the northernmost end, numerous stone pillars and strange stone peaks stand in disarray, with natural stone bridges connecting them. Due to the long-term erosion by the waters of the Heavenly Lake, many quiet caves are scattered on the island, filled with stalactites, forming a unique karst landscape. On the peninsula, there is Tashi Temple (Tashi, meaning auspicious in Tibetan), which is still shrouded in incense smoke, with evening drums and morning bells. Scenic beauty of Nam Co: 1. Tashi Peninsula - the largest peninsula of Nam Co 2. Nyenchen Tanglha Mountains - one of the three great sacred mountains of Tibet 3. Nagqu La Mountain - overlooking the panoramic view of Nam Co Travel precautions⚠️: 1. Remember to take medicine to prevent altitude sickness; 2. Walk slowly, climb slowly, and maintain a pleasant mood; 3. Bring some simple meals; 1. Transportation: We chose to rent a car, (if altitude sickness is not severe, it is recommended to rent a car, because you can stop and take beautiful photos at any time). After arriving at the scenic area, you need to buy a ticket, the price is 110 plus a sightseeing bus for 100, which provides oxygen. But just getting off the car to the scenic area will be very uncomfortable, with an altitude of 5000+. However, you will feel better after resting for a while. 2. Things to bring: Thick clothes, you must wear more. The wind is particularly strong. Also bring a hat. Otherwise, your head will freeze in pain. If you are driving, it is recommended to bring some fruit, as the higher the altitude, the more severe the tinnitus will become. Eating something will make you feel much better. If the tinnitus is really uncomfortable, you can pinch your nose and exhale forcefully. It can relieve a lot. (This was taught by a skydiving instructor before) 3. You can prepare a small oxygen can. When you lack oxygen, you have no strength at all. 4. Bring a moderate amount of water and cola (it is said that cola is useful for altitude sickness). My boyfriend survived the drive by drinking cola. 5. Taking photos with the yaks by the lake, 50 per time. It is said that now there is unified management, with a unified price. But the brother said that he could let my boyfriend help us take a group photo. Take until satisfied. Be sure to find the yak in photo one, it looks the best! 🥹 6. Be sure to bring sunglasses, the ultraviolet rays here are too strong, you can't open your eyes without sunglasses. 7. If you are afraid of severe altitude sickness, you can bring some medicine for it. The pharmacies here all sell it. 8. If you want to feed the seagulls, there is a lady selling instant noodles nearby, two bags for 10 yuan. You can experience what it's like to feed seagulls immersively. The seagulls here are very beautiful, and they are not afraid of people, any shot is a blockbuster.

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!
