Namtso lake is a popular excursion destination among travellers to Tibet , many people prefer to make a trekking there . Situated at an altitude of 4718 m it is a extremely beautiful lake with turquoise blue water.The 70 km long and 30 km wide salt water lake has the Nyechen Tangla mountain range(7000 m peaks) on its back ground to enhance its beauty. The wide open spaces around the lake , dotted with the tents of local nomads are intoxicating.
