Gangdise

The Gangdise mountains run east to west across the high country of western Tibet, separating the upper Yarlung Tsangpo valley from inland lake basins to the north. Their snowy heights overlook grasslands and lakes at exceptional elevations. Among them is Sengli Tso, a freshwater lake whose outlet reaches the upper Tsangpo. To the south, the broad river valley lies between the Gangdise and the Himalayan ranges.
