Nam-tso

Just a few hours north of Lhasa, spectacular
Nam-tso
epitomises the dramatic but
harsh scenery of northern Tibet. This deep blue lake is fringed by prayer-flag-
draped hills, craggy cliffs and nesting migratory birds, all framed by a horizon of
snowcapped 7000m peaks. Walking the kora path at dusk with a band of pilgrims
is superb. It's cold, increasingly developed and devastatingly beautiful.
