NAMTSO Lake, 240 km north of Lhasa, capital city of Tibet, is the highest salt lake in the world. The lake covers an area of 1,940 sq m and is located at an altitude of more than 4,700 m.

The snow-capped Nyenchen Tanglha mountain range lies to the south of Namtso Lake. The peak of the mountain range, also named Nyenchen Tanglha, is 7,162 m, the highest in the mid-Tibet area.

Legend has it that Namtso Lake and Mount Nyenchen Tanglha are lovers: the vast and clear surface of the lake reflects the high mountain, and the snow on the mountain melts to supply water for the lake.

Nowadays, Namtso Lake has become a key tourism spot in northern Tibet, with more and more tourists drawn to appreciate the magnificent view of the lake and the mountain by its side.
