After 3 days sightseeing
in Lhasa, you will get properly acclimatized.
Then you will drive to northeast to Reting monastery.
This famous Gelukpa complex was originally Kampa
monastery founded in the eleventh century by Dromton,
the main disciple of Indian scholar-Atisha. From
Reting, after a day trek to Joktsola, we will
drive to Damshung-the center of marsh. All the
inhabitants here are herders. The walk to Namtso
initially follows the road from Damshung. Most
of the traffic consists of yak herders and horse
riders. Camping at the edge of Namtso Lake will
offer you the excellent views of Nianqingtangla
Mountains, the sparkling water and the varieties
of birds. |
