Lake Nam Tso

Nam Tso, or Nam-tso, is the second-largest saltwater lake in China. It is over 70 kilometer long and reaches a width of 30 kilometer. With a stunning turquoise lake, the magnificent views of the Nyenchen Tanglha massif and the colourful pilgrims walking the Nam Tso Kora, Nam Tso is a great place to glimpse nomadic life and experience Tibet's awesome sense of space.
