Lake Trati Nam

Trari Nam Tso, also called Zhari Namco, is a vast inland lake of the Tibetan plateau. Its brackish waters lie more than 4,600 metres above sea level and have no outlet to the sea. The Tsochen Tsangpo and other streams carry water from the Gangdise mountains into the basin, while wetlands spread along parts of the shore. Old shorelines high above the lake bear witness to a time when its waters covered a far greater area.
