The Nagenla Mountain, on the road between Lhasa and Namtso Lake is the perfect place to admire one of the most important holy lakes in Tibet. Hidden from the view of travelers, this vast expanse of water will be revealed once you've arrived at this pass. Be sure to stop for a moment and enjoy the beautiful scenery below.

To access Namtso Lake from Lhasa, one route exists and it passes through the neck Nagenla Mountain. Located at 5,190 meters above sea level, it is an obligatory passage that must be overcome to access this fantastic sacred lake. Even for any car, the climb is difficult, but what a joy once you arrive! Prayer flags are hung everywhere but it is not what makes this amazing place, the Namtso Lake that finally appears. Indeed, invisible until now, it magically appeared there. The landscape of this vast expanse of salt water often provides a sense of serenity to all. With the impression of dominating the world and at the same time just be dust, we can then begin the descent to the shores of the lake.
