Nam Tso Lake

On the 17th we traveled back up and over the long, long pass to Yangbajing Hot Springs - I took a picture of my GPS to show how high we were.
Nam Tso Lake is a very large lake in the middle of the empty highlands. There are some rustic accomodations, and a large number of prayer flags, but mostly vast expanses of open land.
