The
flight from Kathmandu to Lhasa can be a breathtaking one
the only civil aviation flight right across the
Himalayas with views on a whole of 8000m peaks include
Mount Everest, Cho Oyu, Makalu and kanchanjunga.
Namtso Lake is located north east 215 kilometer from
Lhasa city.Namtso Lake is 4718 metres above the sea
level, 70 kilometers in lenghth, 30 kilometers in wideth
and 1940 square kilometers in size. It is both the
highest and biggest salt water lake in the world.
Meaning Heavenly Lake in Tibetan, Namtso is respected as
one of the four holiest lakes and the seat of
Paramasukha Chakrasamvara by Buddhist pilgrims.
Buddhists believe Buddhas, Bodhisattvas and Vajras will
assemble to hold religious meeting at Namtso in the year
of sheep on Tibetan calendar. Circumambulation around
the lake at the right moment equals 100 thousand times
of that in normal years. Hence thousands of pilgrims
from every corner in the 5th & 6th month of the Tibetan
calendar each year, many Buddhists come to the lakeside
on pilgrimage to pay homage and pray.
Deep tracks are worn into the lakeshore due to this
activity. In history, monasteries stood like trees in a
forest around Lake Namtso attracting large numbers of
pilgrims with eminent monks in Buddhist temples
developing body and character and extending Buddhism. On
the four sides of the lake stand four monasteries, which
have Buddhist meanings.
