Day 1: Lhasa / Namtso / Lhasa (500 KM) (-/ -/ -)
Set off from Lhasa in the morning. Drive to the Namsto Lake. Namtso Lake is the highest lake in the world and is 4,718 meters above sea level. It is 72 kilomters long from east to west and 30 kilometers wide from south to north. It has an area of 1,940 square kilometers. Some 60 kilometers to the northwest of Damxung County seat, it is one of the three holy lakes in Tibet and receives high respects among the local people. The natural pastureland around the lake, Nyenchen Tonglha Mountains (Nyainqentanglha Range) in the distance and enchanting Namtso Lake compose a fantastic picture.
Then head for the Yangpachen, which gains its fame from the abundant geothermic heat. The hot spring in Yambajan, which contains high content of sulfureted hydrogen, is therapeutic to many chronic diseases. The bathing place is an open-air swimming pool. With the snow-capped mountains in the distance, it is really an enjoyment to have a hot-spring bath in the swimming pool. Especially in winter, it is very pleasant and romantic to enjoy the heavy snowfall by bathing in the hot spring. Then, drive back to Lhasa.
