Sengli Lake

Sengli Tso lies among the mountains of western Tibet, on the northern side of the Gangdise range. At an elevation of about 5,386 metres, it is an exceptionally high freshwater lake. Unlike many lakes of the Tibetan interior, it has an outlet: its waters ultimately reach the upper Yarlung Tsangpo. Mountains encircle the basin, and natural pastures lie around the shore in this cold and thin-aired landscape.
