Namtso in Tibetan language means 'heavenly lake' wit an altitude of 4,718 meters above sea level and the surface area of 1940 square kilometers. Namtso is a salt lake with the highest altitude in the world and the head of Tibet's three biggest sacred lakes.

The number of tourists from that arrive around 10am and linger until about 4pm is astounding...there must have been at least 1000 native chinese tourists wandering the beaches and taking pictures. Once these people left the small peninsula we stayed on quieted down and tranquility was achievable.
