Namtso Doring

Namtso Doring is a sacred place associated with Namtso, the great lake beneath the snow peaks of Nyenchen Tanglha. The lake is revered by Tibetan Buddhists, and pilgrims have travelled to religious sites along its shores. In the sacred geography of the plateau, Namtso and the mountain are paired as wife and husband, presiding over the high country around their waters and peaks.
