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.
