Lunggar

The Lunggar Range runs north to south through the high country of western Tibet. Its slopes drain into enclosed lake basins, including Ngangla Ring Tso, while the northern flank of the Gangdise mountains supplies water from the south. Old shorelines around these lakes record periods when their waters stood much higher. The mountains and their basins form a cold, remote part of the Tibetan plateau, where snow and meltwater feed the interior drainage.
